This is getting silly now. I was changing it BACK btw, to the original
bug description.

@tekstr1der:
This is not about my views, it's about logically analyzing a problem, properly 
labeling it in correct terms and finally coming up with good ways to solve it.

First let me answer your question. Yes. And exactly this behavior is
what I have in mind with "hiding applications" (app=all its
windows+launcher icon indicating its state). Could be a huge
misunderstanding maybe?

Let me put it yet another way:
This bug is not about hiding *individual* "windows" but about hiding all 
windows of an "application". My terminology is correct because the launcher and 
all mentioned docks are application-centric. In terms of how it actually works 
"all windows" would be correct too. This may look like nitpicking to you but 
the problem is that this bug isn't (as in "it can't") solving another related 
problem: per window (=window-centric) window hiding or minimizing (minimizing 
isn't very accurate for neither apps nor windows in the current implementation 
of the launcher). By not using the proper terms and/or clearly defining the 
problem there is the risk these two separate issues become mixed up and finally 
that inconsistent terminologies and concepts end up in the user visible 
interface.
