Overall, I found the Stardock app Fences to be a little more trouble than it is worth. It did, however, have one feature that I liked: double clicking the desktop would toggle the visibility of the desktop Icons. The following code mimics that feature.

Code:
#IfWinActive, ahk_class Progman
~LButton::
   KeyWait, LButton               ; Thank you, Lexikos.
   KeyWait, LButton, D T0.2      ; http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25485
   If ErrorLevel
      Return
   Else
      {
         ControlGet, hwnd, Hwnd,, SysListView321, ahk_class Progman
         ToggleVisibility(hwnd)
      }
Return

ToggleVisibility(hwnd)
{
If DllCall("IsWindowVisible", UInt,hwnd)
   WinHide, ahk_id %hwnd%
Else
   WinShow, ahk_id %hwnd%
Return
}


One note is that this code will hide your desktop icons when you launch an app by double clicking a desktop icon. Fences does not do this. At first, I was trying to think of how to prevent this from happening, but I then decided that 99 times out of 100, I'd just be hiding the icons after I launched something anyway.

You can fix the hide-on-launch-app issue by checking if any icon is selected before performing the show/hide.

Sweet. Awesome. Glad to see that I re-invented the wheel.

Using #InWinactive is better, only that it did not work for me when I tried.
I think I have isolated the problem to Zune Desktop Theme which activates a WorkerW class window when show desktop is done..

I have worked around it:

Code:
#IfWinActive, ahk_class WorkerW   ; workaround for
~LButton::Send !{Esc}{LButton 1}  ; Zune Desktop Theme
#IfWinActive                      ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zune_desktop_theme

#IfWinActive, ahk_class Progman
~LButton Up::
 If ! ( A_PriorHotKey=A_ThisHotKey && A_TimeSincePriorHotkey<400 )
  Return
 ControlGet,Vis,Visible,,SysListView321,ahk_class Progman
 ControlGet,Selected,List,Selected,SysListView321,ahk_class Progman
 IfNotEqual,Selected,, Return
 IfEqual,cHwnd,,ControlGet, chwnd, Hwnd,, SysListView321,ahk_class Progman
 DllCall( "ShowWindow", UInt,cHwnd, UInt, Vis ? 0 : 5 )
Return
#IfWinActive
