Bug Description

Hi!
My post is not a bug report but rather a subject for the wishlist ( unfortunately I don't know how to put it in the right category).
I would like to ask if there is any possibility to add a minimize feature on pyroom, either with a keyboard shortcut or with a icon in the task bar, double click or something..
They have been plenty of times that while I'm writing something I need to check something on the internet or copy something from another file, or even not to want someone else to see what I'm writing.
In such cases I have to save my text, ( if the autosaving feature has not done it yet, something possible because pyroom can autosave at least every 1 minute) and then to quit the application and restart it again by clicking on the file that I was in.
A minimize option would be very convenient for such cases.

I have no other complain or bug to report here. Pyroom is one of the best text editing applications I have ever used and I use it as my main text editor.

:)

These are patches against the development branch versions of basic_edit.py and gui.py that make Control-M the shortcut to minimize the window.

After applying the patch from Justin I get the following error when pressing Ctrl+M:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyRoom/basic_edit.py", line 84, in eat

    state['gui'].iconify()

NameError: global name 'state' is not defined

I didn't really patched it, I copy-pasted it. So there is also the possibility that I did a mistake when doing this...but don't know where.
