Manually testing this now, and show desktop toggles fine for me. Must have been fixed with the new changes that went into showdesktop. So ill link that branch as a fix for this.
Im not able to run test_queryshowdesktop.py, but I've a print statement in ::ShowDesktop(), and it is toggling just fine on an empty desktop. If you have a list of any failing tests that you still see attributed to this, let me know!

Matching subscriptions: dx-packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1079460 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.
