How we can take this discussion further? No minimize button is not the
only problem.
* No desktop icons
* No right click on desktop to set wallpaper
* Suspend as default option.
* Alt+tab with grouped windows take a long time, if I have to switch
between windows rapidly, I have to do alt+tab then down arrow, then
right or left arrow.
* And many others...

So many changes! I know that we should be positive and keep improving
but my concern is that the average user needs this things and in order
to enable them they need to install gconf-editor or other things that
require some knowledge.

I tried and tried, then I switched to KDE which I still don't like it.
I know that I can try XFCE or LXDE but I'm a GNOME2 fan.
