And at the same time Linux OS specific JDK code does not initiate repaint of the frame, when the frame's peer is notified about change of state from "Frame.ICONIFIED" to other state. More details are available in the bug record.

The fix repeats the approach already existing in macOS specific code, which is in the method "sun.lwawt.LWWindowPeer.notifyIconify(boolean)".
