Mmm... You are right. 

I think I should make a different event, because really hiding the window by 
calling Hide() or Close() is different from being hidden by a window manager. 

Or maybe I shouldn't? :-)

What I will do is reactivating the Show and Hide event when the cause is the 
window manager, except that the shown or hidden window won't raise its 
associated action in this case.
