[openbox] Prevent screenlets from being minimised

Hi,

I'm using screenlets to have a clock and cpu metering app like Windows 7.

However, I'm facing a problem with ShowDesktop. When I use my
keybinding, it minimises all windows, including the screenlet ones.
It's not ideal, but i can live with it. The bigger problem is when I
use ShowDesktop, then raise one of the windows.

 I can try to use ShowDesktop as many times as I want, but the
screenlets do not appear. I've noticed that this happens exactly the
same as with conky. It becomes a big problem when the windows are
skipping the pager and the taskbar, as there is no way to raise them
once you've used ShowDesktop and then raised any window.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but anyway, is there a way to prevent a
window from being minimised? I'm using always on top already for both
conky and screenlets.

Thanks in advance!
Pedro
