I'm also running the PC/TCP package.  On my system (GRE32 beta) the
windows are left open after starting.   If I click on them to minimize
before the desktop has come up, then they minimize to the desktop.
Later, when the Minimized Viewer is opened, I can double-click on them
to open, and then click on minimize, and they'll go into the Viewer
window.  Or, if I just wait for my Viewer window to open, then click on
minimize, they go into the Viewer.

Your work-around is to open, then minimize.  You can't drag them to the
Viewer.
