Toggling Super+D hides or un-hides all windows so you can access icons
on the desktop.
But this breaks if a new window appears while the windows are hidden:
They become PERMANENTLY hidden, i.e. Super+D does not restore them.
They seem to be "minimized" -- you have to individually un-minimize each
window to get your session back.
This is very annoying, and is common: The only reason for using Super+D
is to see something on the desktop; probably you then need to do
something with it, i.e. click it. If that action opens a new window,
which is almost certain, you're hosed.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Open a bunch of windows and artfully arrange them.
2. Type Super+D (they all become hidden)
3. Double-click the "Trash" desktop icon and wait for a file browser to open.
RESULTS: Once the file-viewer opens, Super+D will not restore the
previously-hidden windows. Instead, it seems to forget about them and
instead hide the new window (and un-hide it if pressed a second time
--before yet another window is opened, of course).
- EXPECTED RESULTS:
-The state should be well-defined: Either normal or windows-hidden.
-Once in the windows-hidden state, Super-D should un-hide the hidden
windows e
-ven if new windows have been created in the interim.

+ The state should be well-defined: Either normal or windows-hidden.
+ Once in the windows-hidden state, Super-D should un-hide the hidden

SUGGESTED FIX:
1. (preferred): On the first Super+D, hide all windows and remember their
IDs. On the next Super+D, un-hide just those windows, if they still exist, and
do nothing at all with any other windows which might be present (i.e. new
ones). Then return to the initial state, where Super+D hides all visible
windows.
2. (if the above is too hard to implement): If a new window appears
while in the "hiding" state, make the new window immediately become
hidden also; only on the second Super+D would the new window become
visible along with the old ones.
