    It’s a matter of placement. All the other quick links are at the bottom left, and it seems more natural (old habit, I’m sure) to click there instead of the bottom right, especially on a large screen.

    O.o The show desktop button is right beside the clock… Its there, and doesn’t take up any space. I suppose this is nice if you prefer to see the actual button, but seems rather redundant to me.
