If  you do, this post is for you!

How do you get one? First this show desktop button ONLY works with compiz (for now at least). Here goes the instructions:

1 - Activate desktop effects aka compiz

2 - Activate the dbus plugin

2 - Download my show_desktop.py python script, save it somewhere safe and make executable.

3 - Create a menu entry for the script in GNOME’s main menu and assign a nice desktop icon from a theme of your choise

4 -Add the menu entry to your docky.

5 - Enjoy your new “show desktop” botton!

Here goes the absolutely necessary screenshot
