[Bug 966030] Re: "Show desktop" in alt-tab doesn't always work

 

Note/correction:  Just checked Windows 7, I'm wrong.

The feature toggles to "Show Open Windows" on the "other" OS task bar
(when right clicking). ALT+TAB merely says "Desktop" and does indeed
toggle.

That said the label of "Desktop" is less confusing than "Show Desktop,"
which is an instruction.

Regards,

  ----------------------
  Desired solution:

  - The first time a user selects the "Show desktop" option (either via
  the Launcher icon, keyboard shortcut or using ALT-TAB) all windows on
  all monitors on the currently visible workspace only should be
  minimised.

  - When the user selects the "Show desktop" option a second time *if
  the user has not opened any new windows or un-minimised any windows
  after selecting the "Show desktop" option the first time*, all the
  windows that were minimised the first time "Show desktop" option was
  selected should be restored back to their previous states.

   - When the user selects the "Show desktop" option a second time *if
  the user has opened any new windows and/or un-minimised any windows*
  all windows on all monitors on the currently visible workspace only
  should be minimised.
