Bug Description
When a window is opened, the only way to minimize it is to choose the window and then pressing the minimize button on it. If there are multiple windows for the same program, minimizing them all becomes a hassle, and thus I consider this to be a regression from the old GNOME interface. I would expect to have an option on the right-click menu to minimize some or all of the windows, like most docks do (Cairo, AWN, etc.)

I agree with this. The windows behavior is not consistent, as you have to click on the "minimize" button in the global menu to make a window disappear, and on the icon in the dock to make it appear. Maybe the "minimize" button should not be in the global menu anymore? Could the dock take care of the appearing/ disappearing behavior, and the golbal menu take care of (un)maximize and close ?
