Do you use the "Show Desktop" action in the panel?

Comments

How to trigger this action through DCOP is one of the most often asked DCOP related questions on kde-forum.org and some of the user mailinglists.

This is the solution I usually post then:

ACTION=$(dcop kicker qt objects | grep ShowDesktop | head -n 1 | sed "s#(# #g" | awk '{ print $1; }')
dcop kicker $ACTION toggle

Not very pretty ;-)

But most oft the time I use Win+D (why not use the Win button, if it's there (there is nothing to loose *g*)).

1. It takes up to much room.
2. I use Win + D

I just don't use desktop (icons turned off).

I was a very happy camper when discovered the Desktop Access Button. I use it quite a bit.
