Also to note, there is new behavior for show desktop. As soon as a new
window is mapped, show desktop toggles off. So this can no longer be a
problem, unless the tests are waiting for it to be off when no windows
are mapped (but that wont be an issue anyway..as it toggles fine). As
when ever a new window is mapped, show desktop is false.

If this is proved to still be a problem, we will need to decide what
should happen as there is new behavior now for show desktop.

I also have all the show desktop tests passing locally here.

Title:
  Show Desktop state does not toggle when there are no windows

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Committed
Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Super+Ctrl+d (or whatever show desktop is bound to) does not toggle
  the state of PluginAdapter._in_show_desktop when there are no windows
  open. This can be observed with the attached autopilot test,
  test_queryshowdesktop.py.

  [Test Case]
  0. Copy test_queryshowdesktop.py to $unity_source/tests/autopilot/unity/tests/
  1. Open some windows.
  2. from a ssh or other remote login:
  2.a. export DISPLAY=:0.0
  2.b. cd $unity_source/tests/autopilot
  2.c. autopilot run -v unity.tests.test_queryshowdesktop

  Observe - "showdesktop state" should follow with what is stated in the
  test log output.

  3. Close all windows on the unity display.
  4. repeat 2.c.

  Observe - the test will fail because it cannot leave showdesktop mode once it's entered. Note, the showdesktop state is initially 0 meaning disabled, meaning that closing all the windows does not enable showdesktop mode.
  Expected - showdesktop state should continue to toggle with the show desktop key.

  If this is expected behavior, some autopilot tests need some work.
