In Oneiric, when I activate the "Show Desktop" option from Alt+Tab (or the
keyboard shortcut), switching to the next workspace brings back all my minimized
windows, even on the workspace I activated it from.

This might be a side effect of the "Show Desktop" plugin, which sends windows to
the corners or sides of the screen rather than minimizing them, though. Maybe we
should have this plugin enabled by default.
