If you believe there is an issue with this, please file a bug upstream at http://bugs.kde.org/.

I don't believe there's an issue with it. I know there's an issue with it. I don't think you like it either.

@ngraham Kubuntu should cherry-pick the very best of KDE software and not what's so and so.

Don't play word games. I genuinely don't know what you think is wrong because you chose not to tell me. Is it the fact that in your screenshot the icon is brighter? Or that the icon and the panel background become brighter? Or the fact that the transparent windows cover it? Or something else? I can't read your mind. Please be clear.

There isn't anything to cherry-pick if you don't report the issue upstream to KDE.

Or the fact that the transparent windows cover it?

That's the one. When you hit show desktop, a clean desktop is preferable, which translates in nothing showing up in the corners. When you have Dolphin open an maximized, and hit show desktop, nothing shows up in the corners of the screen. That should hold true with whatever you have open.

It sounds like what you actually want is for everything to be (effectively) minimized and unminimized when clicking the Show Desktop button, instead of the windows transparently flying to the corners. Would that be a fair assessment?

To do that all a user has to do is disable the Window Aperture desktop effect.

Ah thanks @rikmills, you learn something every day! So @raddison, you can already configure it to do what you want. I don't believe changing the default in Kubuntu or KDE make sense because unchecking that effect also disables all animation, which isn't desirable IMHO.

@rikmills Oh, thanks.

So much better :) I'm such an ignorant.
