KDE 4.1.2 here.
I want to have a ShowDesktop icon in the quicklauncher plasmoid that I have placed \
next to the icon of K menu. The ShowDesktop widget that now sits next to the \
quicklauncher takes too much place (I like small icons like those of quicklaunch in \
Windows XP and Vista). Dragging the ShowDesktop widget to the quicklauncher doesn't \
work as the quicklauncher widget can't work with "services", it expects a .desktop \
file with an exec command. In KDE 3.5.9 I could do this with a dcop command.
 
qdbusviewer shows that there are no dbus methods for toggling showdesktop.
I looked at the source code of plasma_applet_showdesktop.so:
NETRootInfo info(QX11Info::display(), 0);
...
info.setShowingDesktop(m_down);     //m_down is a boolean

I fear I have to write my own C++ code to be able to toggle showdesktop with a click \
on an icon in quicklauncher but I don't know anything yet about the plasma source \
code. I've asked this question also in plasma KDE forum.
If there is no existing command I'll file a wish request at bugs.kde.org
