Show Desktop Exception

I have the "show desktop" command shortcut in my quick launch bar, and I was wondering if there is a way to make exceptions for it. I have some desktop widgets (weather, post-it notes etc.) that I would like to not be minimized when I hit it.

Thanks.

Only way I know to make an exception is if the program in question has an 'always on top' mode. I think most add-on widget programs (Konfabulator being the one that springs to mind) have this feature for individual widgets. The only thing I have set this way is Winamp music player, and it doesn't disappear at the show desktop command.
