Thanks Icek for post #36. This is a nice workaround when you can put such a launcher in a panel. Mine is xfce4-panel, so I'm good now. However, it is not a good solution for the Unity launcher, since once the button is pressed, it will remain unclickable for a few seconds --> button lights up a

Hi all, is this still in progress? I would like to see the behaviour also changed so that it detects any open window and resets itself so that the next click on Show Desktop minimizes everything. It's like this in metacity and windows. I probably filed a duplicate bug here: https://bugs.launchp

In Ubuntu 10.10 Unity there is no 'Desktop' and no icons can be placed on the desktop. Previously when we had Files/launcher icons on the Gnome Desktop this Show Desktop plugin had a purpose, not sure why we need to see the desktop now.. If we are not going to change this behavior for Unity 11.

Please, please don't "fix" this behavior! It makes show desktop actually useful...unlike Metacity where, if something happens to pop up a dialog, or if you do *anything* with other windows, you have to manually unminimize all your windows. -- The modal behavior of "Show Desktop" is confusing http

The problem is the complete unwillingness of Compiz hackers to budge and the unwillingness of Ubuntu devs to maintain a diff. I suggest any interested party: 1. Learns how to correct the behaviour in Compiz 2. Pushes a branch to Launchpad 3. Runs a PPA with the change Then basically all of the wo

I think it would be better if it would be this: when ("Show Desktop" is clicked): if (all windows are minimized): restore last window state; else: minimize all windows; i.e., if you have 2 windows running and 1 opened, click show desktop to show the desktop, click it again

I've just had a friend who I didn't even know used Ubuntu email me with this bug report which I reported in the first place! I think we just need a "minimize all windows" keyboard shortcut / button. That way we can be explicit about what it does and not care about what Compiz upstreams want to do.

It seems the main difference between how OS X handles this and how compiz with the showdesktop plugin handles this is that in OS X when you select one of the apps that is already running it brings them all back and puts the windows for that app on top of the stack.
