Bug Description

The "show desktop" icon in the launcher is very ugly.
It does not fit with the other icons, primarily with the "switch workspace" icon. Both of the icons show a symbolic monitor, but the one in the "show desktop" icon is inappropriate in its width and has to thick borders.

I have made a new icon and attached it. It hopefully fits better, but it's just a rough and ready first attempt. ;)

only what is default in Ubuntu concerns the design team. This icon is supposed to be make into a simple application that can be dragged from the dash. When that happens, the icon will probably be the first thing noticed by Design team ;-)

Fixed by removing the icon. It never worked anyway, IIRC it was meant to show your current wallpaper.
