Bug Description

If the desktop is minimized with a hotkey that execute "xdotool getactivewindow windowminimize", you have to logout and login to get back the desktop apear (in case of normal users). I use often hotkeys for common tasks and comined with mouse gestures to minimize windows more quickly. So I found this bug by accidentially minimizing the desktop.
