Definitely against this proposal/mockup, as it makes the shell more
complicated, while the whole point is to have it optimally simple. Secondly
an item contains less information than a window preview. If any interface
like this *has* to be created, I would suggest a minimization closet which
acts like a workspace showing all minimized windows (but which opens the
window in its original window once you click on it).
 Still I don't think there is any reason to hide windows from the
gnome-shell, as I suggested before, removing the minimization button and
leaving only a super+h shortcut (which doesn't hide the window from the
shell) should be more than enough?
