Bug Description

Hi,

when I disable "Show minimized windows in switcher" in CCSM unity plugin it doesn't change anything.
No mater if option is on or off switcher (alt+tab) always show minimized windows. I have try to logout after changing the option but it didn't work.

PS: from the guide lines:
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
unity:
  Installed: 6.10.0-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 6.10.0-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 6.10.0-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://bg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     6.8.0-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://bg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main i386 Packages

3) What you expected to happen
When I turn off "Show minimized windows in switcher" I expect switcher (alt+tab) not to show minimized windows.

4) What happened instead
It still shows minimized windows.

Sorry folks, but as part of the bug clean up ahead of 16.04 LTS, I'm marking this as invalid because it affects an Ubuntu release which is now unsupported. If you can still recreate this bug in a supported release, please do open a new bug and we can triage it for consideration in the 16.04 LTS development cycle.

The Compiz Config System Settings Unity plugin appears to no longer have a toggle for "Show minimized windows in switcher". At least, not that I can discern.
