Citation needed. Or please explain yourself. I've explained and justified my statements, I've heard no counterarguments other than "No, I disagree". (There is no "/the/ *window*"; app != windows because: global menu and icon with optional overlays; "can not be pinned": you are missing a "yet"; apps can be hidden, just not in traditional Linux DEs because they all were window-centric till Unity) The Fiddler wrote: >> I don't think so: the launcher is used to create a new *window* for an >> application or to bring the *window* of that application up.

Please read up on the application and window-centric interface paradigms. I've posted about this on the mailing list several times and you can find other resources if you don't like listening to me. @Cas Do you deliberately chose to ignore my reasoned postings? I just wrote about how "Minimize" is the wrong term in the launcher, it's to be deprecated, a leftover from the gnome-panel. I elaborated on that in the mailing list. So because "users will use the term" start menu for the dash we should change all our bugs to reflect that? I agree on not changing the title further because everything that had to be said on this has been said and I hope whoever goes forward and implements this feature will read all comments. I'd still had preferred to call it "all application's windows" because: I don't think no one is going to be mislead by the previous titles. Most people complaining about this feature will not be content if it is implemented as in post #58. Many want the old task bar like minimizing back and this bug IS NOT about this issue.
