  Minimized windows are invisible but present; minimize COMPLETELY
  BROKEN

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in compiz-plugins-main package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  Minimize is completely broken in both unity 3.8.2 and 3.8.4 on a fully
  updated Ubuntu 11.04 using ubuntu-daily, fglrx, amd64.

  Here are the problems:

  1) When you try to minimize windows, they become invisible, but you
  can still interact with them in whatever way you like, click any
  button, type anywhere, whatever you like.  You can also use the global
  menu in the panel above, and the panel still claims the app is
  focused. You cannot interact with windows behind where the "minimized"
  window was/is, even if you focus them.

  2) Clicking on the launcher does not raise "minimized" windows,
  probably because they aren't really minimized, just invisible.  You
  also don't get them by clicking the launcher to get scale when
  multiple instances are open.  Alt-tab is the only way to get them
  visible again.

  3) After "unminimizing" "minimized" windows, the windows are totally
  broken.  They are always on top no matter which window is focused.
  Windows behind them can be focused, but they cannot be seen or
  interacted with because the "unminimized" window is always above them.
  You can still interact with "unminimized" windows, but they are not
  seen by alt-tab or scale.  They respond incorrectly to resize,
  mazimize, and shade, but move normally.

  For a long time I thought there was no way to restore an "unminimized"
  window to sanity, but it turns out that for whatever reason, if you
  shade a window and double-click on its titlebar to maximize it, then
  it will remain invisible for several seconds, at the end of which time
  it becomes visible.  Once it is visible again it becomes once more a
  normal window.  They also appear to become normal again if compiz
  crashes.
