I think the ayatana mailing list is better suited for this kind of discussion. Just this:
@JC, @Michael
Both suggestions are too complicated, also middle click is already occupied for launching a new instance/window. What about minimizing the whole app (all its windows) from the context menu and a minimize button per window in the scale view (together with a dedicated close button, there should be a bug for that too)? The scale view could further be improved, a possible implementation here: https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg05651.html

One thing is certain, the old taskbar window minimizing behavior is not coming back unless the whole taskbar makes it back into Unity. An application dock simply doesn't work that way, like it or not. Though there are several standalone taskbars available you could use together with Unity (for example tint2, probably gnome-panel too if someone patched it).
