How to bring a minimized window into foreground on OS X

How to bring a minimized window into foreground on OS X when I minimize an application window on OS X (10.6.2), e.g. Firefox, it does not show up anymore, when I "cycle" through the running apps with the apple+space key combination.

If you use the Cmd+tab combination to choose the application, then press alt (while keeping Cmd pressed with the application selected) and release them both, the minimize window will be unminimized.

"If your windows minimize into the Dock (that is, they shrink to sit next to the Trash), you should be able to use Control-F3 (Control-Fn-F3 on Mac keyboards that have special hardware functions attached to the function keys) to switch keyboard focus to the Dock. Then you can use the arrow keys and space bar to restore the desired window.

It's not quite what you're asking for, but it might be easier than finding the right app with Command-Tab, then the right window with Option-Tab."
