All,

There has been a bug reported on KDE with its behaviour regarding the "show desktop" button.

The following is the "buggy" behaviour

- open up a few windows, say firefox, a konsole, a kwrite window
- hit the show swdktop button, all windows get minimized correctly
- now open any other window, say a console
- the "correct" behaviour (in KDE 3.3) was that only this window was seen.
- the "buggy" behaviour was that all previously minimixed windows also appear on the screen, thereby cluttering the screen.
- as per KDE changelogs, this was fixed in "kwin 3.5.3"

However i just downloaded MEPIS 6.0 RC2, that includes KDE 3.5.3 and this bug does not appear to be fixed.

Can someone pls comment if this issue has been solved with any other distribution using KDE 3.5.3

thanks

Its not been fixed. KDE 3.5.3 on Suse 10.1 has the problem you describe above.
