Or maybe we could give up on the "sticky" analogy and make the button look 
like this:   
         Mode            Look
         1 desktop        a square centered in the upper left-hand quandrant 
(not in the 
corner)
         all desktops     a square centered in each quandrant (but not in the 
corners)

This way the icon mirrors the change that occurs in the pager on kicker (when 
in preview mode).

FWIW, the pushpin was cool, but I had no idea what it was for until I asked.  
The plus/minus is not more intuitive (in fact, I though that was the minimize 
button at first until I looked really closely and saw that the button next 
door was an arrow -- at 1024x768 on my 14" monitor it's not so obvious).
