I know why this bug won't be fixed. Because it makes no sense for a tablet with touch screen to minimize an app when user clicks the launcher icon. What will the user expect when they touch the launcher icon? The obvious answer is to list all the opened windows managers and then press the one they want to activate. Minimizing it, confuses the whole thing. Neither multiple icons can be used to represent individual nautilus windows. Other day I opened 200 nautilus windows to see how can I crash my Linux (it was slow but it did not crash). In 11.04 it opened all those windows but did not respect that I was in my first desktop and started to flow to all 4 virtual desktops. If same thing happens in unity launcher then it could go miles with such big icons made for tablets. If I am about to work with my computer and not just play mac vs pc, I always open more windows than what unity expects me to open. With this new interface of unity, even windows below current active window have started to disrespect me (even if they are clickable). Mouse will happily click any icons on Desktop but will not activate the window I want to open or close. Again the close button makes no sense for Mobile. Mobile devices can activate right click on launcher icons and happily close. Welcome to post pc age guys. Be ready to throw your laptops and computers and start to buy tablets.
