Comment 1 for bug 750349

Just a braindump here. There are two ways this can be done. The first
is to never actually unmap windows when iconified - instead to shape
out their input. This is supported in compiz already in the
workarounds plugin but the code uses some interesting hacks which
might cause problems. The second solution is to unminimize all windows
first and then initiate scale. There could be some performance issues
that cone out of this one though since unminimizing windows is quite
heavy X-wise
