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.
