Thanx GSR!  Alt-d now minimizes all windows in the current workspace.

For those wondering how to accomplish this without delving into Lisp 
code, launch the Gnome Control Center, under 'Sawfish window manager' 
select Shortcuts then click on 'Add'.  This will bring up the 'Edit 
Bindings' dialog.  Click on the 'Grab...' button on the top and enter 
the key sequence to be bound.  Under the 'command', select 'Iconify 
workspace windows'.  Click the 'Ok' button and you're good to go.


Thanx Again,
Ian
