Bug description:
  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.
