[Bug 52797] Workspace Switcher does not show minimised applications

Public bug reported:

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.

** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
