About the only thing you <can> do to the window is to resize it with the lower right corner; that allows you to shrink it to about half the width of a regular window. You can then drag it from side to side to access windows below it. But I agree; being unable to minimize it is a real PITA.
BTW, if you have not tried the shareware "hackie" called "WindowShade," try it; you'll like it. I love being able to roll up windows to see below them rather than having them fly off into the Dock. I find retrieving windows that have been minimized, with the dock not visible to begin with (tiny screen!), and very full, is a bit like catching a greased pig. Just when you think you've got the right icon under your cursor it slides off to one side or the other...
