And this helps exactly how?

We have:

Old behavior: Alt-Tab to hide it, Alt-Tab to show. Position remains.

Open & Close: Mouse click or Alt-C to hide, Mouse click or F* to
show. Position is lost.

Minimize: Mouse click to hide (There may be a keyboard shortcut. I
never used it.), mouse click to show (this mouse click is also more
expensive since I have to search in enlightenment's iconbox). Position
remains.

At least for me the old behavior has clear advantages.
