Yeah, i don't really understand it either. I keep a large enough virtual 
desktop that i never need to minimize anything. It is much faster to 
hit a key combination to move around within my desktop than it is to 
click a minimized icon (or hit a number of key combinations to cycle 
through the minimized icons).
