I know why this bug won't be fixed. Because it makes no sense for a
tablet with touch screen to minimize an app when user clicks the
launcher icon. What will the user expect when they touch the launcher
icon? The obvious answer is to list all the opened windows managers and
then press the one they want to activate. Minimizing it, confuses the
whole thing. Neither multiple icons can be used to represent individual
nautilus windows. Other day I opened 200 nautilus windows to see how can
I crash my Linux (it was slow but it did not crash). In 11.04 it opened
all those windows but did not respect that I was in my first desktop and
started to flow to all 4 virtual desktops. If same thing happens in
unity launcher then it could go miles with such big icons made for
tablets. If I am about to work with my computer and not just play mac vs
pc, I always open more windows than what unity expects me to open. With
this new interface of unity, even windows below current active window
have started to disrespect me (even if they are clickable). Mouse will
happily click any icons on Desktop but will not activate the window I
want to open or close. Again the close button makes no sense for Mobile.
Mobile devices can activate right click on launcher icons and happily
close. Welcome to post pc age guys. Be ready to throw your laptops and
computers and start to buy tablets.
