The compiz version should simply behave like the metacity version, an option to have it behave this way is a "fix me" option. It's called the Show Desktop button and the tooltip says it will "hide all windows and show the desktop", and yet sometimes when you click it a minimised window pops up, rather than all maximised windows minimising. That's just plain wrong.

And the behaviour is inconsistent also, sometimes if you press the button it will minimise all maximised windows, other times it will maximise some minimised windows. Just silly.

I also think this is more important than just "wishlist", it's one of the basic desktop features, the button is right there in one of the four screen corners by default, yet it's broken.
