Behavior of Minimizing Windows Violates Mental Model

Hello, Just wanted to share a personal experience with GNOME Shell. One of its new and unique attributes is not having the window list or any sort of persistent widget that shows running apps or opened windows. This has benefits, in theory, like helping the user focus on the foreground task. It's

Re: Behavior of Minimizing Windows Violates Mental Model

I like OS X's approach, where minimized windows are sucked into the dock with the "genie effect" then it will have it's own icon there (screenshot). This way, minimized and maximized windows are differentiated and you know where to find them.

Mouse bindings?

Hi guys, First off, I just want to say, excellent work on the shell. I'm very pleased with it and I have been using it full-time for a few days now. I just have one question: is it possible to bind a mouse button to trigger the activities screen? I have one of those mice with 8 buttons, and previ
