I tend to use a lot of tabbed interfaces (firefox, terminal, different code editing IDEs etc), so that doesn't happen that often for me. The best alternative I've found is to use hide (cmd-H) rather than minimize if you run into that kind of problem. Then you can just cmd-tab back to the app and all windows will pop up. Also, if you really get into this kind of thing, I'd check out <a href="http://many-tricks.com/witch/" rel="nofollow">witch</a> an inexpensive taskswitcher that's aware of individual app windows (and unminimizes). @James, you’re right, if you have multiple windows of the same app open and some are minimized, this trick doesn’t seem to work.

For example, if you have one minimized window and one that is not the app does not un-minimize. Unless I’m doing something wrong, this only works if the minimized window is the only window.
