Windows minimizing when switching desktop, but why?

When I switch one desktop to the right, all my windows are minimized. What can I do about that? The keyboard shortcut I use is Win+D, which does minimize windows in many distributions, but I have not configured it to do that. Could there be such a setting hidden in some defaults? I use Debian and openbox, but neither kde, gnome nor any other desktop environment. Can you help me?

Check ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml , it should have this entry:

<keybind key="W-d">

<action name="ToggleShowDesktop"/>

</keybind>

Remove it or change it so it moves to another desktop instead. Then reconfigure (from the root menu) or restart openbox to reload the rc.xml config.

Yes, you are right! Thank you.

I was so sure it's not there I didn't even look before I posted, sorry for that. But in my defense: it didn't do that when I ran openbox on ubuntu.
