New installation. Can't figure out how to minimize a window, with either one or two clicks. I prefer double click on titlebar to minimize.

I have installed compizconfig-settings-manager and Unity tweak tool. Looked at a number of how-to docs. After 15-20 minutes of trying, thought I'd ask here.

In Ubuntu Unity a double click on an application's window title bar will maximise the window. Then a double click on the top panel will restore the application window to its previous size. There are three ways that I know of for minimising a window. I do not think that the developers have made it possible to change the double click on the window's title panel. It is part of the Unity design.

Regards.

In 12.04 and versions before that I found a way to enable a double click to minimize. Hard to believe that functionality has been eliminated.
