KDE 4.13.2 / openSuse 12.3

Good day!

When I declutter the desktop via "Show Desktop" and then start a new application all windows minimized with "Show Desktop" show up again.

I think that after using "Show Desktop" only the window of the newly started application should open.

Kind regards!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a few windows
2. Minimize them with "Show Desktop"
3. Start a new application
Actual Results:  
All windows minimized with "Show Desktop" show up again.

Expected Results:  
After using "Show desktop" the minimized windows should stay minimized and only the window of the newly started application should open.

kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Windows --key ShowDesktopIsMinimizeAll true
qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin reconfigure

But you're probably rather looking for virtual desktops (run "kcmshell4 desktop")  or activities to organize your windows.
