Havoc, I agree with you. It is pretty clear what is needed.
I apologize for my laziness. But my laziness is also a bit about not
knowing how to analyze this.

Hmm, while reading back this bug I realize I haven't explained why it is
useful to me.

For me it means having to move the mouse a shorter distance. It is
faster to click a window/task in the window-list to minimize, click on
another workspace in the workspace-switcher and click the minimized task
in the Window-list to unminimize it.
The current way is to find the corner of the window-involved and click
open the menu and select the workspace.
Off course the current way is faster with one window, but not with
several. For instance when having several terminal-windows I want to
move to a new work-space.

Thanks for straightening out my email,
