Hi

I haven't got exactly what you've asked, but for no 2... I installed myunity, an app that gives you more customisation options for unity. In there is an option to add the Desktop as an icon in unity task bar.

To add a launcher to top or bottom panel....

Press Alt+SuperKey(windoze)+Right-click on Bottom or Top Panel, then click "Add to Panel" then select "Show desktop" and click "add".

Then just drag it to desktop.
