When I minimize WLM, the Event Viewer window goes below other open windows, but it doesn't minimize and there is no minimize button on the window. If I use Show Desktop, the window minimizes, but as soon as I open any other application, the Event Viewer window opens. Is this a bug?
No, this is normal behaviour.

When you press "Show Desktop" Windows itself will minimize all windows. This isn't Plus!'s doing, but how Windows itself behaves.

Yes. The window is a child toolwindow of the main Messenger window; toolwindows don't have a minimize button. You might notice that the event viewer doesn't have a taskbar button. That's why it doesn't have a minimize button; if you would minimize it you have no way to restore it again via normal window buttons since there is no taskbar button to (right) click for it.

You can hide the event viewer by closing the main Messenger window.

Also, it would be nice if there was a way to open the Event Viewer window in the main Messenger Plus! menu (e.g., right below the Chat Log Viewer.
In the main Plus! menu there is a menu item called "Display Event Viewer", use that instead, or install this simple script which will add a menu item in the scripts icon.

Also, this has been requested before, see (among other threads):
Event Viewer Shortcut
display event viewer via plus! icon
etc...
