This is a helpful Windows shortcut (Windows+M) I've been looking for on and off since starting to work with Ubuntu. I just couldn't take it any more.
Ironically I should just have looked at the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog (System -> Preferences --> Keyboard Shortcuts). Listed under the Window Management category, the action Hide all normal windows and set focus to the desktop: Mod4+D. On my Dell D610 Mod4 is the Windows key.
Also by looking at Keyboard Shortcuts I've added several other shortcuts to my repertoire.
Here's the URL that finally tipped my off:
