"Show Desktop"-Button - how to keep windows minimized?

Me too, exactly.  Clicking on the "Desktop Access" icon
brings the desktop to a special, invisible state, in which the
invoking of an application un-minimizes all windows.  But I don't
think an invisible state is a good idea, and I don't see much utility
in this behavior.  If I ever need the functionality, I would like
to see an explicit "un-minimize-all" button.  If this route be taken,
we would have two buttons, one to minimize all windows and the other
to un-minimize all.  (But, then again, I wouldn't use the latter
much.)

Cheers,
Ryo
