** Description changed:
+ Keyboard shortcut to minimise all windows required.
+
+ Description:
+
+ Ubuntu used to have a button on the bottom left corner of the screen
+ that minimised all windows. This button was equivalent to a button that
+ used to exist in MS Windows prior to the advent of Vista/Windows 7. In
+ Unity this button has been removed, however a 'minimise all' function is
+ still useful to allow users to go directly to their desktop.
+
+
+ Competitive analysis:
+
+ Minimise all windows functionality in other operating systems.
+
+ Windows 2000 & Windows XP: Button on desktop and "Windows Logo+D" key
combination
+ Window 7: "Windows Logo + D" key combination only
+ OSX: "Option-Command-M" Key combination only
+
+
+ Change request:
+
+ 1) Implement a "Super+D" keyboard shortcut to minimise all windows.
+
+ 2) Create a small application that when clicked minimises all windows.
+ Users who would like a 'minimise all windows' button can then add this
+ application to their launcher.

+ Original bug report:

Binary package hint: unity
General, vague, wishy-washy feeling whilst using Unity.
If the machine is busy/slow, or I'm getting confused, then *I just want
to get to the desktop* (and see my comforting wall paper, files and
- screenshots). There appears to be no easy way to do this in Unity.
