I added cononical-design to the report because their design is wrong. There are several very good suggestions in the comments here about how to do it right.
Specificallly, #335 sounds very minimal, unobtrusive, easy to implement, and logical. I've seen posts against implementation from only two people and their reasons are as wrong as the design. 1. It doesn't matter what the original plan for Unity is or was. The community wants and needs this feature. If they don't get it, they'll either give up on Unity and go somewhere else--away from Ubuntu most likely--or, though unlikely, someone will eventually fork Unity, implement it themselves and users will go there. This is a rediculously small thing to fracture the community over. 2. Mark Shuttleworth's word should not be the alpha and omega of the discussion. He's in charge of Canonical, and he's contributed a great deal to the cause, but he's wrong on this one. This bug is over two years old and overwhelmingly filled with comments begging for implementation of this feature. The time to reconsider your opinion is long past, Mark. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
