Re: Double click in "Activities" mode to minimize all other windows

[Andrew Douglas Pitonyak <andrew pitonyak org>]

There is not much minimize love from the Gnome team. My guess is that 
most of the Gnome team use a work flow that does not include minimize, 
so that particular mode of working will likely be dropped.

If you desire minimize tools, it will likely require you to write a 
plug-in that will function as long as minimize is supported in Gnome. 
Just a guess of course. If possible, try to think of a work around that 
uses other features of Gnome, or simply consider moving away from Gnome. 
I don't say this to be mean, it is just that requests for use of 
Minimize in any form never result in a positive response from anyone 
that likely matters (in other words, there is no person on the team that 
seems to have any regard for minimize). Kind of like telling me all the 
reasons that Goat cheese is great and I should enjoy it. I have disliked 
it for years, have tried many varieties, and you will not convince me to 
eat it.

I have not seen any reasonable ideas to duplicate certain workflows made 
available by minimize, but, you can be sure that they (people on this 
list) will reveal new ways of operating that may help you find something 
workable, or at least less painful. The disregard for minimize is a 
matter of their workflow and preference, and given how often this comes 
up, they clearly have a high tolerance for repetition (i.e., you will 
not be chastised for asking, this is a safe place).
