The show Desktop applet need a double click to work.

1)I flag the "Keep the desklets visible when showing the desktop".It Needs double click to show desktop.
2)I keep off the flag, first time needs double click, desktop is shown but desklets are not (how I expected), second time (without desklets) needs double click. From third time, it needs just one click.
3)If I middle-click twice, desklets are shown again (I expected with just one middle click), now if I want Show Desktop again, it needs double click and the behaviour is the same of point 2.

yes I've noticed that with Metacity, showing a desklet breaks the "showdesktop" state.
but it always work the first time (it always show the desktop), but never the second (it never shows back the windows)
what's your WM ? you seem to have a different behaviour.

ok, I hate window managers (except Compiz)
do you have any cairo-desklet on your desktop, or some dialog opened ?
if so, could you please do the tests without ?

The desklet talked about above, is the Shutdown desklet of cairo-dock. When desklet is not shown, Show Desktop works fine.

EDIT
I've just seen that 2.1.2 has been released, I'm updating, wait some minutes.

you're welcome
and by the way, Compiz is the best WM because it respects the freedesktop and X specs, so you rarely have bad surprise with it.
I can't say how many times I was ennoyed by Metacity or Kwin

In fact I use openbox
Openbox is a highly configurable, next generation window manager with extensive standards support.

The *box visual style is well known for its minimalistic appearance. Openbox uses the *box visual style, while providing a greater number of options for theme developers than previous *box implementations. The theme documentation describes the full range of options found in Openbox themes.

Openbox lets you bring the latest applications outside of a full desktop environment. Most modern applications have been written with GNOME and KDE in mind. With support for the latest freedesktop.org standards, as well as careful adherence to previous standards, Openbox provides an environment where applications work the way they were designed to.

ok, so this might be a good WM as well then
I wish all WM could provide "an environment where applications work the way they were designed to" !
