Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-artwork

For reasons of consistency:
The "Show Desktop Button" applet should not use a button design (widget) but should just use a plain big desktop icon instead.

The attached picture will help to explain what I mean:

In each of the four corner of the desktop there is a button. (If you click on the icon there this will trigger some behaviour)
The design of the "Show desktop Button" in the left bottom corner (1. in the screenshot) does not fit to the artwork of the other "buttons". Moreover the Desktop icon in the button is very small (if it would be bigger it would not fit into the button).

In order to fix this inconsistency one should just use the plain Desktop icon. (Similar to the way Ubuntu uses just the trash icon for the Trash-Button).
This would be more consistent and the desktop icon would be better visible at the same time.

With the new design/theme the plain desktop-icon is used for the "Show Desktop" Button.
