Daniel, Sergey, you're right. I didn't realize that minimize could be used by devs to explicitly hide their apps. In fact, I now think with a dock type shell like pantheon, where running apps have a persistent icon in the dock (thus excluding the need for trivial indicators) minimize might be the best way to hide an app, while still keeping the dock icon (assuming that particular app is not pinned to the dock). But I do believe the manual minimize option should not exist for the user at all. Anyway, let's get back to this after Luna..

I think Plank's current "hide/show" behavior makes sense for now and I'm not terribly inclined to monkey with it too much for Luna.

We should revisit this in Luna +1 when we're more confident that all of our default apps work 100% without minimizing and we've given 3rd party devs some time to catch up.

Okay, I think you're right. The dock's the correct place to start. How do you feel about losing explicit minimize though? Do you guys think you can live without it?

Why should we? Taking it away is way more work than leaving it in place, so we'd better spend time on something that's actually useful.
