I think that you can't.

At least as long as you run it as "fullscreen". Try it also with other 
fullscreen applications (e.g. games) you'll find that they are 
automatically minimized whenever you switch to some other application.

Instead you should try to not run X in fullscreen mode (i.e. removing 
"-fullscreen") and then you'll be able to switch to other 
application/windows without having X minimized.
