the "show desktop" instead just put the one application in the forground
a let the rest minimized - usecase:
you have open some windows, one is compose a new mail in thunderbird,
you know ina folder-view is the intended file for attach it - "show
desktop", klick on the compose window in the window-list -> well, all
other open applications get restored too and the folder-view is hidden
again :-(
I think this one is a "feature" because people complained about not being
able to undo the "show desktop" once they restored (unminimized) an
application. (To be honest, I've been annoyed by that at times, too.) But
just undoing it immediately as soon as you restore an application doesn't
sound like a great solution to me, IMHO, it just makes things worse. (What
I'd do is to mark the state by showing a pressed button, then if you re-
click it while in "pressed" state, always treat it as "Undo 'Show
Desktop'",
i.e., restore all the windows that "Show Desktop" minimized and that are
still minimized, ignore the rest. That's how I'd expect such a toggle to
work.)
