Claimed to be more confusing than indicating.

Reproducible: Always

Why optionally  ?

Show desktop is supposed to totally hide all the windows.
Comment 4 jeremy9856 2015-06-23 10:39:57 UTC 
Oh ok I thought it was a bug but it's the "Window aperture effect" from the "Desktop effect".
I didn't understand that. If I disable it the "Show desktop" behavor is normal...

Yes - the remaining window textures (windows are gone and you cannot interact with them) are supposed to hint the state. Interestingly I was told that long ago compiz used to have the same feature =)

An alternative transitional ("stock" - you can write the scripted effect of your dream) effect is btw. "eye On Screen".

I kind of like the fact that the windows are still visible on the corners. But I think that clicking on any of them should restore the windows to their original positions at a minimum.

It no longer shows the windows in screen corners.
