Oh, after taskbar returns "Disable_topmost" function doesn't work.

Same with me.

Oh Yeah, "Same with me" means on Windows 7.

I could reproduce it. While this indeed looks a bit wrong, I'm not sure that it has a straightforward fix.
In general, if you want your window to not get minimized, you make it topmost, with is the exact opposite of what disable_topmost does.

May be temporarily return topmost flag while user presses 'Show desktop' button?

I prefer the first suggested solution more. With changing "Show Desktop" from CTRL+D to CTRL+M, there is the possibility there might be some windows that exist that are unminimizable – and therefore getting in the way of the button's functionality.

Hmm, is there way to change function of 'Show Desktop' button to 'Minimize All'?
