You've chosen to cycle only apps and ignore windows; windows are minimized into the Dock, not apps. As such, there's nothing to unminimize, as the switcher you're using doesn't know about windows. If you change the action to Cycle Apps > Windows, you'll have essentially the same behavior, but if you hit the down arrow on any app, you'll see its windows and can unminimize them from there.

Basically, they *do* -- see attached movie. So if yours aren't, it's something in your settings, somehow, but I need to see them in order to help fix the problem.

thanks for the quick reply rob.. its not a listing issue but a deminimizing 
issue. witch is listing everything, but when selected, the apps are not 
deminimizing.

Witch should automatically list minimized windows in its switchers, but maybe you have some combination of settings that makes it not work. Can you send a screenshot of each of your settings tabs?
