I don't understand this discussion at all. "Show desktop" removes the 
application windows (which normally don't cover the panel) so that you can 
see the desktop. After you have done this you can see the desktop 
(background + icons). You can also see the panel (like you could before 
you minimized the windows). How does this make the panel part of the 
desktop?
