Scaling an app's windows from the launcher does not include minimized windows

Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

When activating the 'scale' plugin for an application when a launcher icon is clicked, windows that are minimized are not included. They should be (especially since when minimizing, an animation tells the user that the window 'zooms to the launcher icon'). The only other way to get to them is alt-tab.

Seems like it's the compiz scale plugin's fault. It doesn't include such windows. I'm looking at a way to workaround it in unity.
