PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!

Ayatana design team, development team, whoever is in charge of overseeing this subject!

I beg of you, in the nicest way i can possibly ask, please fix this issue. This single issue is the bane of my existence, i cant seem to adjust but i was able too in 12.04 BECAUSE it had this feature. This was the key feature that made me turn away from windows and even mac because it was a complete system, it had all the functionality that i needed to be very very productive. I EVEN HAD ONE OF MY COLLEGE PROFESSORS TRY THIS OUT, EVEN HE SAID IT WAS AMAZING! but now this feature is gone and i find Ubuntu clunky and hard to use because of all the screen clutter that exists. Like the bug description says, that design would be perfect, but if that is too hard to implement, at least give us the benefit of the doubt by just adding this feature to single windows instead of a window stack. I can try to live with this and id be more than happy to return to Ubuntu.

This shouldn't be hard to do since i had this implemented on a 13.04 install but it was buggy cause unity didn't agree with this modification so ultimately it was unusable but regardless this feature would make 14.04 perfect. I know i speak for a lot of people when i say that this would be ideal in terms of functionality. I already feel that unity is nice in that it offers a different desktop experience but one that is well thought out in terms of functionality, however this one simple issue, to me, has caused its use to be "difficult" even new users find it hard to use because they normally come from windows and mac and say why doesn't the launcher minimize my app, that doesn't make any sense! Then they tell me they don't like it and want to go back to windows, myself included.

So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I will join a design team if i have to, i will gladly contribute to this cause, i am a computer science graduate so i know i can at least be of some assistance.

Also kudos on the integrated menu, i was amazed by that cause i didn't think there was a way to make it better, but you continue to amaze. Now if we can just get this one little tiny thing in there it'd be PERFECT!

Thank you Ubuntu team for all of your hard work in designing probably THE nicest desktop environment in the world, and to make it even better, its free! for this i thank you!
