What if the first time the user doubleclicks on the desktop background we
show a dialog saying:

------------------------------------------------
You have double clicked on desktop background, choose the action you want to
be performed when this happens:
  o Show the Desktop (minimize all opened windows)
  o Open Desktop folder in a new window

 [x] Do not show this dialog again
-------------------------------------------------

Advantages of this dialog are:

- We avoid the problem of people that double click unintentionally and gets
surprised by their windows disappeared.
- Gives the user a way to learn the feature.
- Gives the user more choice on what action to execute.
