(Get the code!)
Problem:
The default behaviour (before recent fixes) was loading this plug-in before unityshell, which prevented it from working correctly.
Currently it is prohibited to start this plug-in together with Unity (either showdesktop or unityshell).
Solution:
We have to make sure that showdesktop is loaded after unityshell to allow the user to use it's functionality, namely sliding windows out of view to show the desktop and sliding them back in to restore the previous state.
This effect is visually very pleasing and looks much better than Unity's standard fade out/in, so the fix should involve the possibility to enable this plug-in in CCSM together with Unity and to ensure that the plug-in is loaded after unityshell.
The "Fade to Desktop" plug-in provides essentially the same functionality like already provided by unityshell (fade to desktop), the only difference is that you can adjust the fade time with it.
Unfortunately this plug-in still makes some troubles, like a popping fade-out, so it will be best to not change current behaviour and prohibit the user using it together with Unity.
