Is it possible to add an icon to the bottom part of the launcher (just below the trash icon)? That could work fine with the wmctrl hack.

Super + D is working perfectly in the Natty Narwhal Beta. what i would like to recommend was if we place the mouse pointer on the Ubuntu-button (for a second) it should make all windows transparent. But, it would be better to place a small button on the extreme upper-left corner of the screen, near the Ubuntu-button.

[Bug 681348] Re: Add "show me the desktop" keyboard or Unity dock shortcut
For those like Consumology who need a button to show the desktop, here's
a dirty and imperfect workaround , while we wait for the real thing (...
in Oneiric):
1. Install xdotool (apt-get install xdotool) - this is a utility to
fake keyboard/mouse input, window management, and more
2. Create a launcher, with wahtever name ("show desktop "should do the
job!) with this command (this will fake the same as super+d on the
keyboard): xdotool : xdotool key super+d super
3. Place this launcher on the Unity launcher bar.
It works... most of the time, with the caveat that you can't toggle
quickly between desktop and windows/apps, since once you click on the
launcher, you have to wait for the "glowing" effect to stop before you
can reclick on it... Also, it may sometimes open the Ubuntu menu. Any
improvement suggestion is welcomed.
Bottom line, if you don't use a tablet/touchscreen device, you better
rely on the Compiz tweak suggested above and use a screen corner...

We could make that an FAQ, it's a neat solution to the problem.

OK, using compizconfig-settings-manager (available via apt-get), the solution (well, workaround...) is quite easy. It's possible to assign a screen side/corner to the "show desktop" function, the same way as the super-d key combinations is. So, it's quite easy to use the mouse to clear all windows and get to the desktop (and vice-versa).

Hello, I'm not a developer, but I'm using ubuntu for almost 5 years and I was very excited about the forthcoming new release with Unity, so I decided not to wait (and to contribute a very little bit) by testing it. And after a few days, one of my main problems/frustrations is indeed the missing of a 'show desktop'/'minimize all'- button, as outlined above. I am also user of the desktop for storing recent files , something I find very handy, because, till now, you could very quickly see and access them. I know there is already a shortcut with super-D, but I think that for a lot regular users you cannot rely on keyboard-shortcuts only, but that you also have to have a button-alternative. And maybe not really on topic, but to come back on the last post of mlaverdiere: I also experienced the same. I tried intuitively to click on the icon of an app in the sidebar to minimise it when that app was the active app. I noticed it didn't work like that, but that was what I intuitively thought and tried.

Maybe it's not really the same problem/issue, but what I do miss in Natty (Alpha 3 + daily builds) is the possibility to click on the app. icon on the Unity launcher bar to minimize the app., not only to start/restore it.

[Bug 681348] Re: Add "show me the desktop" keyboard or Unity dock shortcut
Alex: A toggable "Show me Desktop" button allows file access without losing working state. Alt-tabbing or opening a new copy of the file- manager changes state. Manual minimisation by individually focusing and minimising one window at a time (note, currently two steps under Unity) all twenty windows reverses the order of the stack and requires another twenty clicks to even attempt to undo. By comparision, in GNOME v2 Panel it was possibly to address a particular window (such as the Terminal containing your email) by its positional location on the task bar (for me it was always the first one). That is no longer the case, the only predictable axis remaining under Unity is the vertical stack z-ordering. My scratch space for files used to be the Desktop. I could save stuff there, I could easily visit it (and return). Under Unity getting the files "on the Desktop" requires: 1. Top-left (open the Launcher) 2. Open Nautilus by either the File Manager or Trash buttons 3. Find and click on "desktop" The icons on these screen are not laid out like the desktop; the background colour is wrong. The window size and position is different every time. Type a-head does not work because the focus is still left on the word "Desktop" in the left-hand listbox. Predictable. Fast.

So I frequently need to switch on desktop to manage them. Of course you can access to deskto via "Place" menu or Nautilus or Dash (and put it as a favorite folder), or by the virtual desktop switcher if you have one of the 4 still empty, but it needs at least 2 clicks, and it is very useful to have possibility to minimize all windows in only 1 quick click : before on Gnome panel there was a "show desktop" button, which was perfect for that.
