Description Aapo Rantalainen 2008-12-04 11:32:38 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

This has discussed early. (about kde3 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112225 )

I do not know what is plan about it. (comment#3 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158594 )
I also read something about name changing in mailinglist.


"Show Desktop" = Show your desktop. When you do anything, all windows are returned.

"Minimize All" = Every window is minimized.

Some people (senior-users, not-computer-oriented etc.) thinks that "Show desktop" is too confusing.

Ok, previously I just checked wislist-items. Now I look in bugs too.
Many people are thought that this 'show desktop' has bug:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79543
Fix is 'compile kde by yourself'.
(I have used patched kicker because this, but now we are in KDE4)

I think users have same needs than couple of years ago.
