Gnome does have a tool to minimize all open apps that you can
put on your taskbar, but I think it is handier to use
the virtual workspace switcher to jump to an empty desktop
to open the new app, then if I leave it open a long time,
move it to one of the cluttered desktops to keep at least
one empty.  With this technique the switcher works just like
you would expect tabs to work.
