I am configuring shortcuts and just thought that it would be awesome to be able to open skype, thunderbird and this stuff minimized with a command-line-shortcut? Is there a way I could do this?

To open skype in the command line:

nohup skype &

To open it minimized:

In Settings - General check the box that is labeled "Start Skype minimized in the system tray." That should get it to open minimized. (It does in gnome 3 at least)
