I would try the suggestions of a previous post and set the minimized
behavior to minimize to the desktop instead of the viewer, but...

I've found that when it starts "full screen" I can double click on the 
... background, to get the deskpic window open, turn on the background
operation (so the fish swim in the background on your desktop). and then
select OK, then, double click on the "background" again, to get the 
deskpic screen up again, turn OFF the "background on the desktop" option
(THAT'S NOT THE NAME, I CAN'T REMEMBER IT) and select OK again.
It will go minimized.
