Thank you for all the help and especially thank you for this fix mnrl.
But I cant seem to get it to work, ive tested out various way of adding
this ppa and applying the fix but i keep getting duplicate ppa error and
it doesn't work, now it keeps wanting me to restart Ubuntu to apply
changes, i do and then it says to restart again. If there is a guide
somewhere for the exact steps to take when doing this then that would be
great, im sure the problem is on my part i just have no idea what to do
to fix it :(

  Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon

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.
