A quickway to unminimize all minimized via bash prompt or some installable utility?

I'm using compiz-manjaro in XFCE. Working great except for the fact that if a window is minimized in a Desktop(or Viewport as they call it in Compiz), it will not show up when using any window switching plugins restricted to that Viewport (so when switching between all the windows on all the Viewports, minimized windows do show up but when you're switching between the windows of that viewport, the minimized windows don't show up).
I'm trying to work around this limitation/bug by writing a script that will restore all minimized windows but I'm not sure what's the best way to go about it.
Someone called Greg Till wrote a python script in 2009 that uses Wnck to max all the windows before iniating Compiz Scale: http://pastebin.com/mCRKZkVb (I updated it so that it would work) but it was extremely slow about doing this.
As far as I can tell, there is no function to restore minimized windows in Compiz, otherwise I would have set keystroke for that and combined both functions in the script. Is there a ready made function in bash or some kind of utility that can install that will restore minimized windows quickly?
