Bug Description

Even if "Show minimized" in the Behavior tab of the CompizConfig Settings Manager for "Static Application Switcher" is checked, minimized windows are not included in the switcher.

Expected: if minimized is checked, minimized windows should be included
What happens: if minimized is checked, minimized windows are not included

Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04

I've also noticed this behavior. However, it only happens when you have "Workarounds" plugin enabled, with the option "Keep previews of minimized windows" checked.

I believe the package should be changed to compiz-plugins-main-default, there's where the libstaticswitcher.so file is packaged.

Not bad! Impressed that you found which option is the culprit. Indeed, if I remove this option, minimized windows are included again in the switcher but obviously there is no preview, which is still bad.... But I prefer in the mean time an icon than nothing! Thanks. Hopefully, there will be a patch soon. I can apply it myself.
