Hi !
About this two applets, in an user point of view, i think that the name
of showdesktop is a little confusing.
Why not using showDashBoard instead which reflect more the action of the
applet ?
Same thing for the icon...
Perhaps we could find an other icon for showDashBoard and attribute the
actual icon of showDashBoard to minimize-all (the actual minimize-all is
not very pretty...) ?!
The ideal for clarity will to rename minimize-all to showDesktop, and
showDesktop to showDashboard.
I have read that in a usability point of view aaron is very attached at
the concept of Dashboard and i think that the both applet are useful and
don't have the same object.
If i just want to minimize all my windows to profit of my wallpaper or i
don't want that someone see what i'm doing minimize all is great.
if i want to rapidly profit of the functionalities of my plamoid
showDashBoard applet seems to be very useful !
sorry for my poor english
Regards !
