minimize animates window fading to the top left corner (ubuntu symbol)

[billytalent]

When minimizing a window in ubuntu 11.04 (unity), the window fades to the top left corner (ubuntu symbol), instead of fading and shrinking to the appropriate icon on the sidebar.

[Sam Spilsbury (smspillaz)]

This is by design

Yes..it may be by design, but can it be reconsidered ? it seems intuitive.

An Ayatana-Design task was added for this reason. However, considering
that we are quite late in the cycle, we may not be able to get a UIFe
or FFe for this.

I expressed this change request badly, mea culpa.

When the launcher is visible, the animation should be to the relevant
visible application icon in the launcher. When the launcher is hidden,
it should be to the corner.
