@pdqharvey: You can adjust the showdesktop settings in CCSM->General Options->Key bindings Tab->Show Desktop (sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager). There you can choose a new shortcut, which will work (I got Super+D here).
Also you can choose a mouse shortcut to show the desktop, when touching the upper left corner for example. Also on Quantal you can now choose a much fancier Show Desktop effect by enabling the plugin "Show Desktop" in CCSM (you need the compiz-plugins- extra package to be installed). Also you can add a Show Desktop icon to the Launcher, see here for examples on how to do that: http://handytutorial.com/ubuntu-12-04-12-10-show-desktop-unity-launcher/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/878057 Title: "show desktop" shortcut needs to be hit twice to take effect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/878057/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
