I have not tried them all, but seems like what happened to me too... it used to work on the betas, now, sometimes it does, some times it does not... depends on what is going on, what applications are running, and even if they are restored or maximized, or which applications are opened together (for instance, I worked with focused in a gnome-terminal if it has libreoofice also running, but it does not work with the focus also in gnome-terminal, but the other app is chromium-browser)... pretty bizaar. 2011/5/2 Michael-250 681...@bugs.launchpad.net Actually I couldn't believe that this is a real bug, because SUPER+D was working for me since natty alpha ?

Re: [Bug 681348] Re: Add show me the desktop keyboard or Unity dock shortcut
We could make that an FAQ, it's a neat solution to the problem. I think hot corners that change focus are risky at this stage for Natty, but see how you get on and if it works well we can consider it for Oneiric. The obvious mouse only solution would be something in the launcher. We haven't done that because launcher slots are precious, but we could test that too, and a patch for that in a PPA would be most welcome.

Re: [Bug 681348] Re: Add show me the desktop keyboard or Unity dock shortcut
Hello, In my case, I use very often and a lot desktop, as a desktop IRL, to store temporarily lots of files and open them (to read, print...) - downloads from Firefox, quick work on file from USB to send by mail... So I frequently need to switch on desktop to manage them. Of course you can access to deskto via Place menu or Nautilus or Dash (and put it as a favorite folder), or by the virtual desktop switcher if you have one of the 4 still empty, but it needs at least 2 clicks, and it is very useful to have possibility to minimize all windows in only 1 quick click : before on Gnome panel there was a show desktop button, which was perfect for that. So IMHO the best would be to have ability to add an icon launcher in Unity dock which would do exactly the same.
