A Click on an empty space in the window overview shows the desktop. That means: It minimizes all windows on the current workspace.

Mutter has this feature natively (meta_screen_show_desktop()), if you want you can ask to make it public for 3.6.1 or 3.8.
Who can I ask to make meta_screen_show_desktop() a public function? https://bugzilla.gnome.org/ ? Would be easier indeed.
Yes, bug for mutter. Thank you!
