Nathan:

They are wasting your time telling you to remove the compiz package.
Compiz is the window manager that gives desktop effects, but I doubt
you are running it if you have never heard of it.  Further,  It has
NOTHING to do with the problem you see.  The windows are there, you
just need to find them.  Use Alt-TAB.  If you start the window list
applet in the gnome panel, you can find the minimized ones.
