Bug Description
When using the "show desktop" keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+D, it often takes two tries to get it to work.
This can be reliably reproduced by going to the desktop with the shortcut and opening a file from it. This brings all the windows back (which is a step back in terms of usability from the previous behaviour, by the way). Afterwards, the user needs to hit the "show desktop" shortcut twice to get the expected behaviour (hide windows). This may be due to "show desktop" not realizing that the windows have been already brought back by opening a file.
The error also occurs after not having used the shortcut before, but I have yet to figure out what causes it. The whole functionality is definitely somewhat buggy.

Also, when going to the desktop by using CTRL+ALT+D, opening a file, hitting CTRL+ALT+D twice to show the desktop again, then hitting it once more to restore the windows, the window controls are broken. Clicking on them will bring the window to the background, instead of closing/ minimizing/ maximizing it.
