So the best way of making the current functionality understandable is to
fix the showdesktop bugs and tweak it a bit. Basically instead of
showdesktop moving windows it should shape their input away, move their
_textures_ to the sides of the screen, draw a black bar around the edge
of the screen, and make it so when you click on the edge you exit show
desktop mode. Also, opening new windows should not exit show desktop
mode but trying to show a current hidden window should.

Yes, I realize this is exactly how OS X does it but that's sort of the
point; we like that method of doing it but never quite got there.
