"One functional regression of the global menu bar is that you can't minimize maximized applications that are showing a modal popup window. (eg run Synaptic maximized and while it is reloading or applying updates, you can't minimize it because the global menu bar shows the window control buttons for the progress window.) It would sure be useful to have the ability to minimize from the unity launcher instead, even if it were just via a right-click menu option."

this is soooo true! is there a separate bug about this maximized background window issue? that is so confusing I git into that trap several times. So I would subscribe and click on "affected" for that bug instantly. (or file it)
