Julien, This is here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651347
> Yes, except that there is no "sound menu" in gnome-shell. > > I agree, but there is not such thing currently in gnome-shell. > Obviously.

Minimization does not exist in gnome shell, at least not as part of the new workflow. It does exist as a vestigial trace of the old one, a sign of how things used to work, but it has no place in the way things work now, and I wouldn't be surprised if the ability to minimize totally disappears in 3.2, even from the Alt+Space menu. > When new solutions are developed, then - and only then - can minimization > be declared obsolete. > Quite the opposite. Exposing underlying problems is a vital step to solve them. Giving prominence to minimization "until a real solution arrives" is, IMO, sweeping the dirt under the carpet. And it's a great way to make sure that a real solution never comes. > If they knew how to launch the application the first time, I guess the > natural reaction to the window disappearing will to try to re-launch it, > which will result in displaying it again. > That's the case with applications that only have one window, e.g. Totem. Not with applications that can have multiple windows, e.g. Firefox, for which a new, empty window is created. > As I already said in another email, to avoid duplicity, just assign the > close button to "minimize" for applications that need it. Then, specify it > in the desktop file. > And whose work would that be? Gnome developers? Distributions? Me, my mom?
