The desktop a truly functional space? But it's hidden away behind maximized applications!

I think part of the idea is that there will be some short key combination
that you can press / hold down to have the desktop rise up over the

IIRC Windows 3.x had something like this; the "desktop" was in the ALT-TAB rotation, or something like that.
