Neat! I was imagining something a lot like that :)

How about using the same convention for minimized windows? (And only
minimized windows. That way minimizing something would work again, and
it would mean moving the one object from one place to another instead of
having the window in two different views at the same time).

I think this is a great idea!! I'd like it very much. 
One could use the bottom-left corner as hot-corner to display the list of thumbnails of minimized windows.  Don't know if the developers would add it to Gnome-Shell, but maybe an extension can handle it...

By the way, nice to see extensions coming out. :)
