I am enjoying KDE and Kubuntu - the ability to customize anything and everything is kind of fun. I admit, it is almost excessive, but it is nice. I took me awhile to figure out how to add a show desktop icon to my KDE toolbar, as there are so many different options and ways to customize the Kicker. Turns out, all I needed to do was:

• right click the the toolbar
• Choose "Add Applet to Panel"
• Scroll through the list of icons until you find Show Desktop

Next on my list of things to do to waste time, is to browse through all the content on KDE-Look and find something to spice up my desktop...
