Minimizing a screen?

I use Mint 6 and for some reason when I minimize something like example, Thunderbird email, it doesn't go to the bottom of the screen where I can maximize it again. How do I get that option back. At first I could go to the bar and click on it to bring it back, but now it disappears when I minimize.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks

It sounds like you've lost the "activity field" or what ever it might be called in English, right click the bottom bar and add it.

Do your currently open applications like Thunderbird show up on the panel before you minimize?

Perhaps you mean the window list on the panel, right-click on the panel -> add to panel, add the "Window List".
