So you think we should just ignore those who think it was a bad decision
(including myself) and don't provide any option to satisfy those who wish
there was an option to minimize?

Bug description:
  What I do miss in Unity 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.
  mlaverdiere's futher addition: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/comments/2

  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.
