I just spent some time running the F10/KDE Live CD. I noticed that there is a "Show Desktop" widget in the widget list. I couldn't get it to work. What is it supposed to do ?
Thanks

It's also on F9.

You don't know what it's for but it doesn't work?
Drag it to the desktop. Click on it. Watch the windows disappear. Click again. Watch them come back.
(It would be more useful added to the panel, but I don't see an obvious way to get that).

Use the add widget option on the **panel** > choose a widget from the menu, then use the "add widget" option from the menu.

Far from obvious, but it worked, thanks.

Unlock widgets, open the panel settings, click "add widgets...", and add it.
HTH, :-) Marko
