** Description changed:

- What I do miss in Natty (Alpha 3 + daily builds) is the possibility to click 
on the app. icon on the Unity launcher bar to minimize all windows of that 
application, not only to launch/restore it.

  My suggestion would be to modify the interaction-design/process like
  this (*=my modification proposal/2 cents!):
  
  1) start it, if it hasn't been started yet;
  *2) restore it, if it is minimized;
  *3) focus the app, if it's started, not minimized and has not the focus yet;
  4) spread windows (of app), if app is focused and has multiple windows open;
  *5) minimize it if it is in spread-mode (see 4).
+ 
+ Note that this bug has over 300 comments and several working but
+ rejected patches. This means that this feature probably will never land
+ in official Unity! So if you want it, you have to use a patched version
+ of Unity.
+ 
+ There is a working patch for 13.04 ( from comment #322,
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-
+ design/+bug/733349/+attachment/3573380/+files/minimize.patch ). Somebody
+ should set up a PPA (and note it here) to make it easy to install the
+ patched version.
