I've never understood this. The taskbar lets you access all the windows easily, and it doesn't take up much space. If you have your minimised windows on the desktop, then you have to move things out of the way / minimise all windows to get at them. That seems very cumbersome to me. The way XFce3 worked was the reason I deleted it ;)
