Bug Description

Please minimize all windows of a certain launcher when that launcher is clicked and all its windows are visible. This would be a minimize all for launcher effectively. A version of CTRL+CLICK or ALT+CLICK on a launcher should show all windows of that launcher. All other behaviour should remain as is. Implementing this is especially usefull when all the different windows, e.g. four terminals, are neatly distributed over the screen and using up much of the screen. To minimize or restore these all at once would be very efficient when frequently switching to another application that uses most of the screen.

Pander, for changes affecting default behaviour of Ubuntu, Ayatana Design has to acknowledge and okay them,
before those changes can get implemented.
That is the reason why andyrock added the tag needs-design and also the reason for Ayatana Design being
subscribed to this bug.
