Bug Description

Minimized windows on Unity launcher do not show correctly when pressing 'Super+W'.
All other windows not minimized to launcher display a miniature image of the window content. Minimized applications only display a white page miniature, therefore either taking useful space for nothing, or just not being able to display the content of the minimized windows.

How to reproduce:

Launch several aplications (firefox, thunderbird, writer, calc....).
Minimize some of them to the Unity launcher.
Press 'Super+w'
Minimized applications appear as white page miniatures whereas not minimized applications display correctly.
