The real question is: is this function (reveal desktop) important enough
to be present as the second entry in the places menu ? I don't think so.
And for those who do use this function a lot (that includes me), an
applet is way easier and quicker to use than a menu entry. So I'd rather
see this menu entry entirely removed. But, well, that's just me :)
