	Hmmmm. I'm just in the middle of doing something very similar.

	There's already a "Show Desktop" button in the Actions menu
and a bug (#84740 - lots of dialog about being able to edit the
actions menu in that bug too) to provide a button like the lock and
logout buttons for everything else in the actions menu..

	But, "Show Desktop" seems to have changed since I first made
that button. Its now a toggle between "Desktop Showing" and "Desktop
Not Showing". When did that change from _NET_SHOW_DESKTOP ?

God Luck,
Mark.
