** Description changed:
I use Ubuntu 8.10 with an DELL XPS 1330, keyboard with "Microsoft
Windows" key.
I customized Ubuntu a little bit, so that the "Microsoft Windows" key on
my keyboard minimizes all open windows. If I hit this key once again all
of my running application should maximize. Unfortunately, all my
application windows get now lost. I can't find the application windows
on my Gnome GUI anymore. Only the last used application window maximizes
again.
I tried the following to get the other all the application windows back
on my Gnome GUI (with no success):
1) pressing "Microsoft Windows" key once again (this should maximize all
minimized windows) - no reaction
2) using ALT + Tab (should open a special window showing all running
applications) - nothing found
(Sometimes the behavior is a little bit different. Using ALT + Tab shows the
running application. But If I focus on it, it does not open the application
window, but disappears even from the ALT + Tab menu.)
3) using "show desktop" panel applet - no reaction
4) This even happens if I use the minimize button at the upper left of a
gnome application window.
5) I controlled if some applications went to one of the three other virtual
desktops - nothing found
This bug happens with: firefox, thunderbird, pdf viewer, sometimes with
openoffice.
- This bug is very enervating. Please help me!

Additional information:
I randomly moved around within the four virtual desktops. Sometimes some
application windows appear, but I can't move them around or even close. I've
added a screenshot of my gnome desktop ("screenshot gnome description").
