			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p><p>Is there a way to set the Show Desktop function to minimize windows on the current workspace only?</p><p>Currently it minimizes all windows on <strong>all</strong> workspaces.</p><p>The &quot;show desktop&quot; function I&#039;m talking about is configured here:<br /><em>XFCE Settings -&gt; Window Manager -&gt; Keyboard -&gt; Show Desktop (in the action list)</em><br />but the panel plugin does the same thing.</p><p>Current behavior is not very intuitive and affects spatial memory for people that keep independent workspaces with lots of open windows.</p><p>For example:<br />1) Open windows on workspace1 and workspace4.<br />2) Call show desktop on workspace1.<br />3) Move to workspace4 (current windows are also minimized -- undesired behavior).<br />4) Select 1 window. <br />5) Go back to workspace1 (all windows are still down).<br />6) Call Show Desktop again.</p><p><strong>Result:</strong> It does not unminimize the windows, it simply minimizes the window you selected on workspace4.<br /><strong>Desired behavior:</strong> it raises the windows on workspace1 and leaves workspace4 alone.</p><br /><div class="codebox"><pre><code>wmctrl -k off/on</code></pre></div><p> has the same effect but seems to be little bit slower to react.</p><p>I tried the script found in the forums here:<br /><a href="http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=6841" rel="nofollow">http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=6841</a><br />It minimizes windows on the current workspace as I prefer but it&#039;s buggy and much slower than the native &#039;show desktop&#039; (I have a recent machine and it still feels slow).</p><p>The only other reference I found to this specific problem is from 2006:<br /><a href="http://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/goodies-dev/2006-November/000384.html" rel="nofollow">http://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/goodies- … 00384.html</a></p><p>And finally, another behavioral change that would be nice is to minimize all windows before raising any of them, explained here:<br /><a href="http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=6783" rel="nofollow">http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=6783</a></p><p>I&#039;m running Xfce 4.8.0.3 on Debian 64bit Testing.</p><p>Thanks,</p>]]></description>
