True. But it was the OP who said that "window management is atrocious", no less, because "there is no minimize button". I can hide my windows just fine. > But currently, workspace switching to hide a window feels a little like > using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. ;-) > I see how it can feel like that, yes. Seems natural to me after some time doing it, that's all I can say. Jesse, This problem that your mom experienced with GNOME 2 is orthogonal to the > issue of minimization, and is one that GNOME Shell has already solved.

Still, I think having one way of hiding things, instead of two, greatly simplifies things for her. She's definitely happier with her computer now.
