Description
I'm not sure if I changed this, but on my Xubuntu, `C-A-d` is "Show Desktop". Now, every other snaptile combination work, including rectangular areas that include `d`, but when `d` is alone the desktop shows instead of the current window being set to the `d` tile.
A workaround would be to bind "Show Desktop" to the Win key + `d` like a sane person, but I felt I should report this issue.
_Side note_: should I write `C-A-d` or `C-M-d`? Or both are ok by convention?
Thanks. Cool app.

Research direction
Reproduce the reported behavior on Xubuntu with Xfce by binding or invoking C-A-d while snaptile is active. Start by tracing snaptile's keyboard handling and compare the standalone d binding with the other combinations; done means C-A-d tiles the current window instead of showing the desktop.
