Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
If I have a window selected, but buried under other windows, I would
like to be able to click its button in the window list to bring it to
the top, but clicking the button minimises the window instead, because
it is selected, so I end up having to click the button twice.

I would prefer the window list buttons to only minimise the window it is
was already on top of the other windows.  If the window is covered by
other windows, it would be better for the button to bring the window to
the top.

This situation arises quite often for me, because I have the mouse
selecting windows when it passes over them, but not bringing them to the
top.
