Comment 124 for bug 930148

Seems to me there are currently two burning issues amongst users, this and the minimize from launcher issue.
In both cases it has driven the community to come up with their own solutions.

Does this not give a case for some sort of "unity-addons" (or extras or extensions or something) package?

As I have said before, when oblivious 11.10 users upgrade and find the dodge behaviour not only gone but removed altogether, there is going to be more uproar.

The more users are ignored, the more they are going to be forced into finding other ways of doing things.
This may lead to more 3rd party repos or PPA's which may well include badly coded or buggy workarounds which are then going to end up here on launchpad as bug reports.

Both the current hide for maximized windows and minimize from launcher workarounds would require a few lines of code, is there really such a lack of resources in this team that this couldn't be worked into unity or as an extras package if you really want to keep unity that lean?

After all, the HUD has made it from nothing to it's current state in just a few months and I'm sure that is more complex than hide on maximized?

Either way, I have completely lost patience with ubuntu. I hear so much a bout "user testing" deciding things yet almost 200 users here alone are being completely ignored.
