Compiz: Static Application Switcher doesn't include minimized windows

[Gregoire Gentil]

Even if "Show minimized" in the Behavior tab of the CompizConfig Settings Manager for "Static Application Switcher" is checked, minimized windows are not included in the switcher.

Expected: if minimized is checked, minimized windows should be included
What happens: if minimized is checked, minimized windows are not included

I've also noticed this behavior. However, it only happens when you have "Workarounds" plugin enabled, with the option "Keep previews of minimized windows" checked.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Nahuel (nawels)]

I believe the package should be changed to compiz-plugins-main-default, there's where the libstaticswitcher.so file is packaged.

Not bad! Impressed that you found which option is the culprit. Indeed, if I remove this option, minimized windows are included again in the switcher but obviously there is no preview, which is still bad.... But I prefer in the mean time an icon than nothing! Thanks. Hopefully, there will be a patch soon. I can apply it myself.
