SUMMARY
Restoring a running application from the dock/panel/Alt+Tab after minimizing all applets(/showing desktop) restores other running applications on the screen as well.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open up a few applications (for eg: open Browser first, then without minimizing browser, open terminal). Keep terminal open on top of browser.
2. Hit the 'Show Desktop' shortcut key (Meta+D by default) to show empty desktop screen.
3. Click on the Terminal icon on panel/dock (or open terminal via Alt+Tab)

OBSERVED RESULT
Restores the terminal and browser together, in the same orientation, as they were before hitting the 'Show Desktop' shortcut key.

EXPECTED RESULT
Restore only the terminal.

You can use the "Minimize all Windows" applet if you want it to behave like that. :)
