[Bug 1348101] [NEW] system dialogs lost by showing desktop

 

Public bug reported:

By system dialog I mean an error popup after booting (apport?) or a
dialog about low battery power or required reboot etc., that is not
attached to an application and has no distinct icon in the launcher.

When a system dialog opens, and you show the desktop, all windows are
hidden. You can then use Super+W, Alt+Tab or "Show desktop" again to
access all other windows that belong to applications, but the system
dialogs remain inaccessible.

Either system dialogs should be associated with an icon in the launcher
or Alt+Tab, or at least the window overview Super+W should show all
windows, including those not belonging to an application.
