Nope it doesn't work

locate showdesktop.desktop
/usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/showdesktop.desktop

xfce4-panel --version
kxfce4-panel 4.11.0 (Xfce 4.10)

diff /usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/showdesktop.desktop
~/.local/share/applications/showdesktop.desktop
115c115
< Icon=user-desktop
---
> Icon=wine
xfce4-panel -r

No change.

Are you sure it apply also to plugin, for the panel?



Thanks for the suggestion. :)

…

Does not seem to work, if I edit the system file neither…

Hum may be harcoded, from .deb source:

grep -r "image = xfce_panel_image_new_from_source" .
./plugins/launcher/launcher.c:          image =
xfce_panel_image_new_from_source (icon_name);
./plugins/actions/actions.c:      image =
xfce_panel_image_new_from_source (entry->icon_name);
./plugins/actions/actions.c:      image =
xfce_panel_image_new_from_source (entry->icon_name);
*./plugins/showdesktop/showdesktop.c:  image =
xfce_panel_image_new_from_source ("user-desktop");*

I will try to rebuild it and test it.

Thanks for your help,
Sylvain.
