What I was trying to do was to temporarily hide all my windows on one virtual desktop, perform a short but screen-hungry task, and then restore all the hidden windows. I found that ToggleShowDesktop wasn't useful for this purpose, because despite its name it doesn't restore the windows, I had to restore them one by one. I guess this might be because "if no windows have become visible yet" (from the doc) was false. But if not this use case, what? -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages.
