Marco Biscaro: 
Maybe "minimize" was a poor choice, a better term to properly distinguish the 
two approaches is "hide".

The launcher is for launching applications, it represents application,
it indicates whether applications are running or not, you can "quit"
applications from it's context menu. You cannot close particular windows
from the launcher nor select individual windows from the launcher. You
can only do that from the scale view which is a separate interface.

Why should the launcher suddenly hide "windows"? It would be completely
inconsistent, illogical and simple "wrong". Mind you in any case this is
more a question of terminology than an actual difference in behavior
because application equals one or more windows, the difference however
is that it's "all windows" or none, never individual windows.

** Summary changed:

- Minimize windows upon clicking on Launcher Icons
+ Hide Applications upon clicking on Launcher Icons
