Show Desktop icon on Quick Launch misbehaves

[Will Niccolls]

The Desktop icon in the Quick Launch toolbar displays a folder window of
Desktop, instead of the users preferred minimizing of all windows. I guess
this is a simple matter of replacing it with the correctly targeted icon,
but darned if I can find it.
