Exposé in Snow Leopard showed minimized windows — if any — in a dedicated area at the bottom. This was extremely helpful and efficient, especially combined with the "Minimize windows in application icon" setting of the Dock.
Mission Control is apparently done with this behavior, so monitoring and fetching minimized windows is now a pain.
Is there a way to show minimized windows anywhere in Mission Control?
Maybe the open source WhichSpace project can do this:
WhichSpace
Have you ever forgotten which space is currently active on OS X (10.11+) and wanted a quick way to tell? Didn't think so... but I did!

OK, after twiddling different combinations, I found a solution that works (at least on Mac OS X 9.5 Mavericks).
1) Open the app in question (e.g. TextEdit).
2) Click Menubar / File / Open Recent / Clear Menu. Note that there is also a Menubar / Apple / Recent Items / Clear Menu. Clicking this general one doesn't help; click the app-specific one.
3) Open System Preferences / General and set Recent Items to None.
Note: While this keeps the minimized-items section of exposé clear of recent items, it also unfortunately disables access to recent items in most other places (e.g. the menubar or dock).

If you exposé (three finger swipe down or whatever shortcut you've set up) you can then switch through all of the applications by pressing tab.
Pressing tab on its own will go through each application showing all windows (minimised or not), pressing cmd and tab will show you the swap icon bar (in middle of screen) at the same time as going through the applications. The arrow keys followed by enter will help you select what window you want.
It's certainly not as elegant as SL used to be, but it's the only thing I've found that kinda/sorta/maybe comes close.
