Seems that I need to make hotkey and escape handling more configurable.

Unfortunately, there is no way to acquire contents of minimized windows. If Telescope was able to acquire contents before windows was minimized, it will use cached copy of the window. But if window was minimized before Telescope start of if Telescope was never activated before window was minimized, Telescope won’t be able to show its contents.
That was not a problem on Diablo because while all windows are fullscreen there was no need in minimizing windows. But on desktop it is not good

By the way, as far as I remember, Telescope should draw checkers pattern for such windows. It seems like minimized windows shown in black, so this probably does not work. Needs to be fixed too.
I had a somewhat related problem on Fluxbox. There is a checkered pattern for some windows, but the things is that they're on a different workspace from the one where I started Telescope - so, the checkered pattern does appear, in this case probably shouldn't.

I tested two additional WMs, unfortunately with bad results: Openbox - basically, not working at all; Awesome WM, as I had a very old compiled version (it's on v3 now, and I had an old 2.2 compiled). Telescope in Awesome (v3) wasn't awesome (didn't work at all, too)

Strangely enough, I really, really like Telescope on DWM. Apart from it segfaulting when I invoke it in an empty tag, it's running perfectly. There's another slight bug, when I first run Telescope on a tag in which all windows are urxvts, I'll try grabbing a screenshot of it.

And on the Raspberry Pi, it's so fast... I'm still missing an SD card to make a video of it running there, but it was so surprising.

When auouymous's fixes are in place, let me know, to see if I need to update Arch's PKGBUILD.
