@brandontschaefer; clarify what you mean by 'the current worskpace is hidden'?

To my knowledge one workspace is always visible, and that is the current workspace.

The show desktop interaction should be limited to the currently visible workspace. All the state described in the bug report should be *per workspace*.

This means that for example, if the user selects Show Desktop on Workspace A, then immedatly afterwards switches to Workspace B, any windows that were previously visible on workspace B should still be there (they should not have been affected by the Show Desktop command the user triggered while on Workspace A). If the user then goes back to Workspace A some time later, and they trigger the Show Desktop command a second time, the hidden windows should be restored because the user has not interacted with any windows on Workspace A subsequent to the first time they triggered the Show Desktop command on workspace A.

If this doesn't answer your question ping me on IRC when you get this message.

thanks!
