Show desktop with Windows + D

Again, Ctrl + Alt + D is set as a default shortcut to show desktop. Unfortunately I haven't found it in the Keyboard shortcut settings, so I will have to use the more advanced Settings Editor.

1. Settings Manager --> Settings Editor

2. Find Channel xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts and locate a Property with show_desktop_key value.

3. Click on this Property and press the Reset button. This will basically delete the Property and Ctrl + Alt + D won't work for showing the desktop anymore.

4. Now add a new Property /xfwm4/custom/<Super>d with the same Value (show_desktop_key) and Type String
