I would advise against EVER saving an AppleScript application as 'Run Only'! That only prevents future editing of the script. If you want to protect your code, and will be distributing the script to several people, then select 'Run Only'. Otherwise, this option will only give you headaches in the long run when you realize you can't ever edit the script again after selecting that option. Something else you can do though is save the script as 'Stay Open' and change the script like this: This one line script hardly needs to be saved as 'Stay Open' though!
It's pointless to activate the Finder. Just run the shell script.
While testing the icon, I found that it does not always work, unless finder is activated first. I have no idea why!
Made a quick app with the GNOME Show Desktop icon: Show Desktop
Full screen apple mac apps. That's cool!
Great, but now how do I close the descktop exposure
When I run this it shows my desktop as desired. But now how do I revert back from the exposed desktop?
Also one tweak to this. in the script editor save it as an application bundle then move the the icons from the expose package to this script renaming them to the default name applet.icns (delete the default icons in the resources bundle of the script). Now it will look like the expose app in the dock.

'Wouldn't it be nice to activate Exposé's Show Desktop mode via an icon on the Dock?'

Wow - another Script that re-invents the wheel - great!
Or, just add the Exposé icon to the Dock, then right click it, and choose “Show Desktop”. I know this is TWO clicks — but this may be enough for most people.
Also, on my system (a late 2008 MacBook Pro), it still takes a few seconds for an AppleScript app to run. Since the Exposé.app talks directly to the Dock.app process, this takes about ONE second total.
Four-finger swipe up.
I'll bet good money that I can get my mouse to the top right hot corner of my screen, AND then a second time, to show the desktop then bring the windows back, quicker than anyone can click on this icon, wait for the script to run, then click on the screen border.
I've argued against people criticizing hints just because they wouldn't use them themselves before now, but that applies to stuff that people may not spot otherwise. I'm pretty fed up with the number of 'I know you can do it using the GUI, Terminal, the keyboard, gestures and goodness knows what else, but I know, write a script' type hints here lately. Saying 'write a script to do it' is NOT a hint. It's sharing a script you wrote! The only real hint is; keep scripting in mind when you want a better workflow, otherwise this won't stop until every single thing you can do on a Mac has a scripted method posted. If Mac OSX Hints is to include these, then lets please have them in a separate 'useful scripts' section. Mark
In the Exposé System Preferences Pane, you can set up 'Desktop' to be activated via a 'hot corner'.
