Re: Is the Minimize button still useful with gnome-shell ?

I agree; there isn't much of a point to minimizing. Replacing it with something that sends it to another workspace/icon-ifies it or something would be a better idea.

Hey that may not be such a bad idea. Why not place buttons, that depending on how the workspace are currently laid out, allows the user to move this window to another workspace. So if there is a desktop to the left, right and below, there are three arrows on the title bar for each direction. Once pressed the window shoops away in that direction.

Yeah, that makes sense. The left side of the window could have "left" and "right" buttons for workspace switching (makes the feature more obvious to new users). It'd make it look a little more "balanced" (two buttons on each side), wouldn't it? The program icon can go right before the window title (saves space and looks better than sitting in the corner IMO).

The more unique Gnome Shell is, especially if it adds functionality, the better! =D
