Description Yakup Turgut 2010-05-25 12:27:06 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.3.5) 
OS:                Linux

When I click the "show desktop" widget on the panel it hides the windows but what I want is to minimize them. For example, my home folder is open and I need to open another folder and copy or do something on that folder so I click "show desktop" widget, it hides everything then I open the new folder, then what I see is not the folder I opened, instead it shows me the home folder which is annoying for me. Although hiding windows is a design choice, I think users should be able to choose the behaviour of the show desktop: hide or minimize windows.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
While a folder is open i.e home folder, click to "show desktop", try to open another folder.

Actual Results:  
It shows the previously opened folder, not the newly opened one. It only hides the windows.

Expected Results:  
It should show the newly opened folder. It should minimize all the windows
