I found this handy little trick on macosxhints.com. Most people use Exposé quite frequently, I know I do. I have one of my hot corners set to “show desktop” which I like to do if I want to make sure something has downloaded correctly. However, all of my windows get shoved off the screen and there’s that annoying black border. So when I found this terminal command, I was delighted.
Open terminal and type in:
defaults write com.apple.dock wvous-olddesktop -bool false
Then, restart the dock by typingkillall DockThis way, when you “show desktop” (default F11) all of your windows combine into a little window on your desktop.

Maybe this is something widely known but I stumbled upon it just recently:
When you activate Expose in Application windows mode (F10) you can use Tab to cycle through all apps’ application windows in current space.

Revisit with Video:
If you have multiple apps open in multiple spaces you can display all spaces and hit F9 (or whatever key you have mapped for expose) and you will get a display of every window open in every space. Since it’s easier to see than to read here is a video of it in action: link to video
