It seems the main difference between how OS X handles this and how
compiz with the showdesktop plugin handles this is that in OS X when you
select one of the apps that is already running it brings them all back
and puts the windows for that app on top of the stack. This is a small
enough change that can probably be accepted upstream. If I'm remembering
correctly the main thing upstream did not want to lose was the "enable
show desktop, open some windows and work with them, disable show desktop
to bring all the others back" functionality.
