How can I display minimised app windows in Mission Control

[mrplow]

Lion doesn't include minimised windows in Mission Control.

Can anyone suggest a setting/tweak/hack/workflow that will display all windows in Mission Control.

Seems, to me, like an odd and rather annoying omission.

As far as I can tell - you can't anymore. They changed a bunch of stuff. It kind of seems like they don't want you to minimize anymore - i.e. mission control will handle grouping of windows.

One other suggestion was that you turn off minimize window into app icon - thus putting minimized icons directly on the dock. Of course I had this checked so my dock didn't become unwieldy.

Minimized programs seem to show up with application expose - but not in mission control. Unfortunately - I haven't found a smooth way to go from MC to App Expose. If I have multiple windows open - that flow works fine but for single windows there is nothing to click to get to app expose.

Some things I found - as there isn't a lot of documentation (or obvious documentation with a google search) Probably some gestures are configurable so YMMV
-Space bar zooms in MC
-2 finger swipe up spreads out a cluster
-Add desktops by going to the right hand top of MC and hitting the + that shows up ghosted
-Four finger swipe is currently setup on my machine to switch desktops
-Desktops have gone back to the old NeXT/Afterstep etc of only left right configuration.
-I have not figured out how to wrap around
-you can also get to application expose via 4 finger swipe down on the dock icon of the program of your choice - thus bringing up expose with minimized windows.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply Ivan.
You've, unforetunately, re-enforced what I suspected. Time to change my Snow Leopard habits I guess.

Still seems like an odd decision though seems to miss the mark of what it's billed to be:
"Mission Control brings together full-screen apps, Dashboard, Exposé and Spaces in one new feature that gives you a bird’s-eye view of everything on your system"

Yeah - but notice your quote didn't mention minimized windows.
People on Apple support and other forums suggested that if enough people ask for it Apple may add minimized windows to Mission Control - squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I tried a few more things using better touch tool. No joy - everything that is Expose just brought you to mission control, except for App Expose - that worked as expected.

If anyone has any more ideas I'd love to hear it.
