As Gala's built-in "show desktop" mode appears to be broken (it minimizes opened windows, but doesn't actually remember what was minimized) and I don't think devs will ever bother to fix it, I want to implement my own "Show Desktop" implementation using xdotool and temporary files for storing windows' information. It will also automatically assign itself on Win+D (and a hot corner maybe?) during the installation, just like it was in Desktop Folder
