Comment 19 for bug 706458

If an application is not open, clicking on the icon should open it. If it is open and has only 1 window, that window should get the focus. If it is open and has more than one window, you should get some kind of window picker. Period. Any more complexity than this is confusing.

There is no real need for allowing users to minimize by clicking on the icon. Use of the Minimize button on the window titlebar is well known, and users will get used to the new behavior of the "task bar" quickly enough. What I didn't like in 11.04 is that clicking the icon would produce different results depending on strange circumstances such as whether some of the apps windows were minimized. Sometimes I'd get all windows restored, sometimes I'd get a window picker (Expose?), and maybe sometimes it would restore just one window, and I'd never know what is going to happen. That's why the plain and simple behavior I wrote in paragraph 1 is what I want: It's simple, consistent, easy to remember, and I think is, or will easily become, intuitive.
