Until Unity gets a more easily accessible minimize function, you can use Alt-F9 which minimizes the current window (or assign another keyboard shortcut).
And for windows that can't be minimized there's "Lower winow below other windows". There's no keyboard shortcut for this (it's not even in the window right-click menu), but you can add one from System Settings --> Keyboard Shortcuts. I have Super+Z as a shortcut for "Lower window below others" and does exactly what I think was missing from Unity (and it's IMO very nice to have Gnome 2 as well). -- 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 windows upon clicking application's launcher -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
