There is no minimize per say in Gnome Shell (there not even a button for this). Instead of changing the code (mutter or gnome shell) or even creating an extension, I suggest you simply change your workflow. Like you I have Evolution on 100% of the time. I simply put it in another workspace. Usually what I do is starting Evolution and Empathy on the first workspace, and I work (LibreOffice mainly) on workspace 2, and I use the subsequent workspaces for other applications (let say, Chromium, a terminal, Rhythmbox ...)
And that works great. I think I am even more efficient this way. When I go in overview mode I see only the applications on the workspace I'm on, and I can check on the other appli by switching workspace. That will reduce a lot the interruptions and will increase your efficiency. Good luck :) On Fri, 2011-05-27 at 18:25 -0300, theblues gnr wrote: > Hi, > > > > I wanted to say that I really love GNOME 3, nice work all. :) > > > One thing I'm missing is a way to get windows out of the way when I > don't want to work with them.
