Bug Description

The 'show desktop' button on the launcher is locked to being right where the bfb (dash) button normally goes. That throws me a bit. Not only that, but to me the show desktop button is not something I'm going to want to use all that much compared with the dash but I do like the option to have it and use it from the launcher.

The previous version of unity had the button appear below the switcher and that seemed an apt place for it. Why not allow it to be moveable, via dragging, and allow the user to place it any of the following locations:
1. Before bfb
2. After bfb
3. before workplace shifter
4. after workplace shifter
5. before mounted items
6. after mounted items.
?

So basically anywhere except between application icons.
