Missing icon for desktop in Dash in 18.04
I upgraded today to 18.04. One item I am missing is a "Show desktop" button in the dash. How can I add this without running a script? (This must be a common request). Thanks.

I think the easiest would be to use/install a relevant gnome extension.
There is for example https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1194/show-desktop-button/ however this adds a button to the top bar.
Alternatively, you could install gnome-tweak-tool to check if the ubuntu dock extension has an otion for this. Or, you could try the das-to-panel extension (instead of the ubuntu dock, probably) that has a option for this.
