Bug description:
  After using 'show desktop' to minimise all windows, opening any new
  window also incorrectly restores all the minimised windows.

  ---------------------------------------------

  To Reproduce (example 1):

  1. Open two windows from different applications (say Chromium and Software Center)
  2. Press Alt-tab and select the 'show desktop' option.  This minimises all open windows
  3. Launch a new application (say Firefox)

  What currently incorrectly happens:
  - all windows minimised by the 'show desktop' command are magically restored the moment the Firefox window opens

  Desired correct behaviour:
  - When Firefox is launched, only the Firefox window should open.  The minimised windows should remain minimised.

  ---------------------------------------------

  To Reproduce (example 2):

  1. Open two windows from different applications (say Chromium and Software Center)
  2. Press Alt-tab and select the 'show desktop' option.  This minimises all open windows
  3. Press Alt-tab again and select one of the applications (say the Software Center)

  What currently incorrectly happens:
  - all windows minimised by the 'show desktop' command are magically restored the moment a single application is selected using Alt-tab

  Desired correct behaviour:
  - Only the selected application or window should be restored.  The other minimised applications and windows should remain minimised.

  ---------------------------------------------

  Desired Resolution:

  - Selecting a window or application using either the Launcher, Spread
  (triggered from the Launcher) or Alt-Tab should not restore unrelated
  windows that have been minimised using the 'show desktop' function.

  - If 'show desktop' is used twice in a row and the user has not opened
  or restored any windows in the meantime, the second time it is
  triggered all the windows that were minimised the first time it was
  triggered should be restored.  But if any window has been opened or
  restored since the first time it was triggered, triggering it again
  should minimise all open windows.  The use case is:

  1. User has several windows open
  2. User triggers the 'show desktop' function using alt-tab
  3. All open windows are minimised
  4. User triggers the 'show desktop' function a second time using alt-tab
  5. All windows that were minimised the in step 3 above are restored.  Windows that were already minimised before alt-tab was triggered in step 2 should remain minimised.
