Sorry, blame the netwm spec (and wrap your mails). You would have to 
change whatever panel you're using to show minimized windows from all 
workspaces, then change openbox to have a separate 'minimezed' desktop 
submenu, and to bring windows to the current workspace when activating 
them. (shouldn't be so hard)
