    "Show Desktop" tab


    Greetings to all,

    I keep on running into an annoyance, when I press the "Show Desktop" tab on the bottom right screen all windows minimize, correct. Alas, when I press on a single window which I want to come up, all windows that are minimized pop up. I don't wish it to be so, I only want that single window to pop up.

    Any scripts by any chance or a setting that I might have missed?

    I've searched but nothing was there which I wanted. Right now I just tried using the "Alt + Tab" shortcut, that solves my problem in a way by opening only one window I choose.
