Ok, that's what seems to happen there:

- the first time "show desktop" is used (keybinding or alt-tab), all the things 
on screen are hidden
- if you then alt-tab to something, only that something is display, at this 
point the "desktop shown" status is not clear, it's still on because if it was 
turned off everything else would be restored on screen
- if you action "show desktop" again, the status is changed to "off", which 
leads to have things restored rather than hidden

That can be pretty confusing and needs some design input on what should
happen when picking something in alt-tab after showing the desktop,
should everything be unhidden or only the one selected? The other issues
are side effect of that decision
