Methinks you are confusing Gnome with Windows.

Try adding Nautilus to your applets--I think that'd be a great help.

In Gnome 2.2 (just released) there is a show desktop button as an applet.

Yes, this feature was not in standard GNOME until 2.2 unless Mandrake hacked GNOME slightly to add this feature. If that is the case, I'd search google.com/linux for more info.
