shortcut to show desktop?

Fences looks awesome but I have a problem showing the desktop.  I only use remote desktop and if I use the Win-D key press it shows the local desktop, not the remote.  I want it to do this because it's how I switch back and forth to local.

So in order to get the the desktop I have to right click on the taskbar and select a menu item.  This is just enough pain that I don't use stuff on the desktop.

Can anyone suggest some other shortcut so I could get to fences in one keystroke or one mouse click?

I'm on windows 8 using start8.
