Description diego1188 2010-03-02 13:35:24 UTC 
I miss a lot a show-desktop button (or, even better, hot corner). When I have a lot of windows opened and need to access a file located on my desktop, I have either to minimize one by one all the windows, or enter in overlay mode, add a desktop and switch to this one. 
You may say that I can use the Ctrl+Alt+D shortcut, and this is true; but I also think that there is no operating system/desktop manager that doesn't have a "show desktop" option.
