Clicking on "show desktop" applet in KDE and then deleting a file in desktop maximizes all windows

[Txukie]

Well the problem is quite self-explained in the summary, I'm under KDE and I use the "show desktop" applet to.....well, show my desktop. If after doing that i select a file on my desktop and delete it, the windows that were minimized become maximized again. It's nothing mayor but it's a bit annoying.

After clicking the show desktop button, the minimized windows should come up again after you're done with what you had to do, i.e. opening something from the desktop.
I agree that it looks a bit annoying -- maybe the move to trash confirmation box should let you respond before all the windows come back up.
Still, I don't think this is a bug.

Windows' "Show Desktop" icon or whatever it's called behaves similarly, and I always hated it. I suspect it's the designed-in behavior, and therefore not a bug by definition, but I don't think it's the behavior most users are expecting.

Well i don't know about Windows XP, but I know for a fact that Windows 2000
doesn't behave that way. I have a VMWare install and I just checked it. We're
not here to copy from Windows though, i imagine it can be done and most
people would welcome it.

My dapper doesn't do this anymore. It was fixed, see KDE bug #113552
