[Mel C]

ubuntu 11.10 has changed the default show desktop shortcut keys from win+D to Ctrl+Alt+D

Works for me

I can repro this bug on my laptop. hitting Win + D activates the taskbar.

Holding the windows key activates the task bar for me also but then pressing d hides any open windows and shows the desktop.

nothing happens...show desktop works well in 11.04 only not in 11.10..i tried :-(

@Timothy Arceri Did you update from a previous version? I just did a clean install and Super+D doesn't show the desktop. Ctrl+Alt+D does.

[Mel C (melc)]

@devius... Ctrl+Alt+D for show desktop.... keep on changing the shortcut keys is not good.... WIN+D is cool

[Timothy Arceri (t-fridey)]

ok, my version was updated not fresh install looks like this is just a change of the default keys. I'll mark this against gnome-control-center and see what they have to say about it.

Much has changed in the 10+ years since this issue was reported.

Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013.

In my "impish" installation of Ubuntu both "Ctrl+Alt+D" and "Super+D" show the desktop as expected. I'm closing this as "Invalid" as the issue is for a release that is so long EOL is not worth investigating.
