From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020827 Description of problem: Sometimes I'd like to minimize all applications to have a look at my desktop or open just a single application. So, just like Windows has, it makes sense to have this in the right-click menu of the Window List applet. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.- 2.-- 3.--- Additional info:
You can use a keyboard shortcut to perform the "Minimize all".
In 8.0 there's a Ctrl+Alt+d shortcut. Current GNOME devel versions have a panel applet that's a button to do the same thing. Having it in the right-click menu on the window list grippy doesn't seem totally crazy, though it does arguably violate the UI guideline that right-click menus contain items that affect the object you right-clicked. Anyhow, we should report this bug to bugzilla.gnome.org for discussion (and include a link here to the gnome.org report and vice versa).
I added it to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92335 Closing here.
