indicators: one menu for each indicator.

zero or more windows.

the window because each window has an "button" on panel/taskbar.

here, on the mailing list, and implemented for Oneiric (it's too late to
changes for Natty).

The only reason you not implementing this is because of multiple windows?! Clearly you never used Docky as they managed it just fine by minimizing ALL windows. Just to add, Windows XP had window grouping and then a 'minimize group' on right click.

You do not need a mockup as everyone who has commented on this bug has expressed identically use case scenarios that make perfect sense. That's 50 or so replies reiterating the OP's proposal, I think that is pretty concrete and defined to me.

I have yet to read a single comment that makes a valid argument against implementing this proposal. The resistance by the developers is rather odd considering that Unity is meant to improve the user experience.
