** Description changed:

  If I were to sit next to you at your computer, put my arm around your
  shoulder and ask you: "Show me the Desktop"
  
  What would you do? Load up a Firefox window? What if I asked you again
  "Show me the Desktop"
  
  Would you do something different than, say, show the desktop?
  
  Thusly, when one selects "Show Desktop" with ALT+TAB I propose either:
  
  1) Show the Desktop and only the desktop, no matter the state.
  
  Or:
  
  2) Change the state from "Show Desktop" to "Show Open Windows."
  
  Thank you for your consideration.

+ --------------------------------------
+ Desired solution:
+ 
+ - First see the description of bug #966030
+ 
+ - When the user is in the 3rd state described in the description of the
+ aforementioned bug (e.g. they have just used the 'Show Desktop' function
+ to minimise all their windows, and have not opened or restored any new
+ windows after doing this), if the user goes to the 'Show Desktop' option
+ in Alt-Tab, the title should be changed to 'Restore Windows'.  The
+ action that is performed when this option is selected should not change,
+ the only thing that should change is the label in this state.
+ 
+ - If possible, it would also be good to change the tooltip of the
+ Launcher Show Desktop icon when in this state if possible, but if not no
+ worries.
