That's partially a mix-up: control-alt-d "minimizes" (unposts, actually) 
all the windows on screen and shows the desktop only.  I am pretty sure 
that it does focus the desktop as well, as a side-effect.  But it makes 
all of your application windows get unposted, which isn't always what 
you want.
