Why not use killall -s STOP or kill -s STOP to stop processes you don't need anymore and killall -s CONT or kill -s CONT to continue them when you need them again? Of course typing in terminal these commands is not convenient for frequent use so you can use hotkeys (run "sudo apt-get install hotkeys" to install hotkeys on Ubuntu or Debian) or keytouch to stop/continue all or specific list of Windows applications (running under Wine) by press of a button on your keyboard. This would give you much more useful effect than "minimization" on Windows. I can give you some examples if this is what you want.
