Bug Description

When you minimise a window, it visually goes to its launcher. Nevertheless, when you click on the launcher to restore it the window doesn't seem to come from the launcher, but from the centre of the screen.

That's true, it's more a compiz animation plugin issue I think. Thanks for the report. :)

I am curious to know if the current animation when a window is raised from "hidden" state is a bug or intended?

Omer - the animation is supposed to be like that, since the window is actually closing and opening (this is for minimize-to-tray cases though)

An update - we would like the minimise to happen to the launcher icon if
the launcher is visible, otherwise to the BFB.
