Summary: Grab on . prevents minimizing app on Windows.

Initial Comment:
For bug #1847002 we added some restrictions for system commands when a grab is present. One of the changes was to prevent grabbed toplevels from being minimized as this can confuse users if the only active window in a Tk app disappears.
Unfortunately it seems that some applications manage to leave a grab on the main window. This now prevents the application from being minimized although everything else is normal.
Therefore the previous modification -- deny minimize when a grab is present -- must be changed to deny minimize when a grab is present except when the grab is on the mainwindow (.) and . is the window to be minimized. (This comes out shorter in code).
The application presenting this problem is 'git gui' and their bug is http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=301
