Affects me too. Very annoying bug.
I've gone ahead & set that option to false and after a log out/in minimized windows are handled properly
As of a daily on 08/10 that option is set to true by default
+ A minimized window 'remains' behind on the desktop if
+ /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/show_minimized_windows
+ is set to true
To test in the absence of gconf-editor (not default installed
gconftool-2 -s -t boolean /apps/compiz-
This works for me, thanks.
This should be fixed with https:/
requires an xserver patch: http://
Brought this over from the bug I reported.
I have noticed over the last few days when I am using Firefox in maximum view and have other application windows open under it, when I minimise it, it leave a ghost trail of about 3 to 4 graphical links in the top left of the screen, this happens on my laptop and my pc at work. One is using the intel GPU and the other NVIDIA, This occurs on both machines so its not related to the hardware but ubuntu 11.10 beta itself.
After FF is minimised other applications are in accessible, clicking on them does nothing, clicking randomly on the laucher sometimes works, and other times some applications are locked and can not be opened again and have to be force quit. super S also locked u, but may display one or 2 windows. It is as though the FF screen is laying over the top like a pain of glass.
I hope my explanation of the bug is understandable, and that other people too are having similar issues.

Does that setting even have any effect any more, other than to cause buggy focus behaviour and graphical glitches? Its comment says "Hack to enable minimised windows in switcher" but with it set to false, my minimized windows still appear in the switcher when I press ALT-F4.
This bug was fixed in the package xorg-server - 2:1.10.4-1ubuntu2
---------------
xorg-server (2:1.10.4-1ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low

- Add patch from Sam Spilsbury to fix the event mask handling which would
generate an incorrect BadValue error when a client tries to use SendEvent
with ShapeNotify. (LP: #847967)

@shanekpiper: Yes. This is behaviour I'm seeing also, and I decided this bug report was corresponding. I hope this is the case :-)
Waiting for xorg-server - 2:1.10.4-1ubuntu2 to show up in my update-manager...
There's still a Unity/Compiz task before this is fully fixed. You'll still find this happening when you minimise maximised windows, even with the newer X server.

It may be good to release the unity fix now that the new xorg-server has been releaased and likely installed
The possibilities for bad behavior with just xorg-server upgraded have increased
With the option enabled in the unity plugin still get issues, with it disabled new bad behavior is happening, whether because of no new unity or not, obviously can't tell.
screen shows one ex.
Open thunderbird not maxed, minimize to launcher.
Try to raise Thunderbird from the message indicator, opens transparent.
Even worse if there is another window open on the Ws, then Thunderbird open transparent underneath the other window, havoc results on that workspace
- Screenshot at 2011年09月19日 19:22:13.png Edit (328.7 KiB, image/png)
when another window is open - in this case home, trying to close home results in an unresponsive ghost window
This is all fixed in trunk unity and compiz-core now.

nice! Can't wait to see it happen :-)
Well, I don't get this bug anymore now. Latest Update Oneiric
i still have this problem, when having several windows of one program open and one of them is minimized.
double click on the application in the launcher shows them all up, but the minimized one is invisible.
in ccsm i've set up fixed launcher and smallest icon size, if this helps.
any suggestions?
Fix released in:
compiz (1:0.9.
i've same issue on gnome-fallback on ubuntu 12.04
Nvidia driver Proprietary driver installed (downloaded from nvidia.com)
System is up to date but i don't use Unity.
