I created an applescript, Minimize, that will minimize all application and finder windows. The best way to use it is to assign a Quicksilver trigger to it. Do so by calling it via osascript and run it in a shell.
- Open Quicksilver, then type (command-’) to open the custom triggers section
- Add a new command by clicking the plus sign at the bottom of the window
- Type . (dot) to put it into edit mode
- Type ‘osascript /path/to/minimize.scpt’
- Hit tab and choose “run command in shell.”
- Assign a trigger to it (I use shift-command-w)

Download Minimize (right click, save link as)
Note: If you don’t want to do this using an applescript, you can do the same thing with a couple of extra steps: command-tab to the finder, then hit option-command-h followed by option-command-m.
