I use it very frequently, like that:

  * 1st click: if any window is open (non-minimized), minimize all of them
    (and show the desktop).
  * next click: restore all windows again to their original position, which
    where closed previously (but not the ones which were minimized already
    before 1st click)
  * should I have restored (and maybe changed) one (or more) of the "1st-click"
    minimized windows, the next click starts all over again (minimimize all
    open windows, just as if it were the 1st click)

It is the behaviour I learned to "expect". For me, it is very useful.

I haven't had time to look at these befor jumping in to comment...  :-)
