You simply pressed on the Shift key while the windows were moving. Try it now: press on Shift and click on the yellow button on any window to send it to Dock... ;D

I you want to have more fun try this:

-Go to the terminal
-Type this in EXACTLY as you see it, excluding quotations: "killall Dock"
-Now go back to any window
-Hold shift while minimizing it
-As it slowly minimizes, go back to the terminal and hit enter

The minimizing windows will now freeze in mid-minimization (if that's a word! lol). What is really cool about this is that you can actually still use the window, even though its all stretched out!

Thats the power of the Quartz Compositor!
