Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

There seems to be no indication in the workspace switcher when a workspace contains minimised applications.

This makes it very easy to forget to close an application before logging out.

The minimised applications are only appearing on the taskbar as a faded icon and text, only the active window has border and background, so it is also easy to miss a minimised application in a quick check of the taskbar.

I would like to see some sign in the workspace switcher to easily distinguish between unused workspaces and workspaces with minimised applications. Possibly a different background colour or a copy of the bar icon from the title bar minimise button.
