Comment 2 for bug 323079

I followed David Siegel's tip and made a python script that can acts as show deskop applet.

The script ONLY works with compiz for now.

This is my first attempt to solve this problem and I find it usable at least. What you have to do? Just save the script somewhere, make it executable and create a menu entry for it using a icon (for example desktop.png from gnome-icon-theme). Place the entry in docky and voila, a show desktop applet to go!

Well, I know this not integrates with gnome-do plugins but it solves this problem for now. I'll dig more on the subject later.
