Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.90) Installed from: SuSE RPMs When clicking "Show desktop" to minimize windows and later "Configure desktop...", all windows are suddenly unminimized. It does not occur if windows are not minimized using "Show desktop", possibly some toggle-action is used. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open some maximized windows. 2. Click button "Show desktop" - windows are minimized and desktop is shown. 3. Right-click desktop and select "Configure desktop...". 4. Windows which were minimized by "Show desktop" (but seems that only these) are unminimized. It is very irritating. Expected behaviour would be to leave windows in their state.

SVN commit 465900 by amantia: Be consistent and don't use animation in any case when a bunch of minimized windows (with Show Desktop) are restored. But I don't really understand why they should be restored when you invoke Configure Desktop...

The same behavior occurs after pressing [Del] on a desktop icon so that the alert window appears. I am using KDE 3.5 beta2 and this patch seems to have made it in, since unminimizing is much faster than in beta1. Nevertheless, we necessarily have to fix this for 3.5, this in unacceptable. Is anyone able to explain why windows are unminimized at all?

In KDE 3.5 beta2 still happens (though unminimizing is instant). I have also noticed it happens when minimizing all windows, then trying to run application shortcut from the desktop.

Still present in KDE 3.5 RC1.

Have a look at Bug 94199 and Bug 108899. I think this behaviour is intended. I would like the other behaviour better too, but maybe we are outnumbered ;-)

also, rmb->run command from desktop's rmb menu causes this bug. this bug still present in KDE 3.5.0. this is an annoying small bug :(

So, contrary to comment #5, the former behaviour is no longer intended?
