That behaviour is exactly what Metacity already does, but the state (pressed/unpressed) is still working, and sane!
The real problem here is that Compiz developers decided they liked the Mac OS behaviour of revealing the desktop, so implemented it as such, but did it half-arsed. * We are using a minimise animation even though the windows are really in some other state. Windows fly off to the edges of the screen on Mac OS and remain visible, including a very obvious darkened border around the screen. You KNOW when you are in this state, whereas you tend to forget in Compiz. * When calling up a new window, the hidden windows stay as such. I am unclear as to the logic in Mac OS but it really does just seem to work without getting it wrong. As a result, myself and I'm sure other people tend to accidentally leave Compiz in the "show desktop" state whilst actually having many windows open. I am doing so right now. In fact, I have really just gotten used to clicking the button twice instead of once every time I want to show the desktop. I don't know how this has passed so many distros' QA, but it's pretty embarrassing if you ask me. -- The modal behavior of "Show Desktop" is confusing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/91784 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
