Several ways, well a couple of ways. One is IF you get xfdeskmenu working
there's a part of that that lists apps per desktop, both open and
minimized which you can bring back by selecting from that.  Another way is
by opening the GNOME panel which will display minimized apps. Another way,
although I have not tried it is to use ROX which apparently has a feature
that iconifies minimized apps. I believe there is work or at lest talk
being down about an xfce4 taskbar and perhaps a xfwm4 minimized app/icon
feature.
