icon-to-minimize-applications-windows

"Not gonna happen? Why not? DockbarX allows you to do that same thing...
Futhermore, compiz 0.9 is SUPPOSED to support showing minimized window
thumbnails. Why would it be so hard? "

I quoted my own comment here. Now let me reiterate. DockbarX allows you
to have both behaviours, and unity SHOULD as well (it's simple common
sense. Sorry Mark, but we are not Mac users and we are not trying to be
so stop trying to ape Mac (sorry if that offends, but let's be honest)).

It is simple common sense to me that if you:
 - Click on a single window's icon, it minimizes or restores the window (so 
long as the window supports it.
 - Click on multiple windows' icon, it should enter scale mode (common sense!)
 - Probably double click on multiple windows' icon: minimize or restore all 
(for example, chat applications).
 
What's so hard, confusing, or unintuitive about that?

BTW I would just use the ayatana mailing list, but:
1. It doesn't seem to receive my msgs.
2. I'm not convinced that our feedback has a REAL impact there (not convinced 
yet at least).
