This happens when you have a touchscreen / some form of multitouch input.

That skin has set the image to tile assuming it would always be a fixed size.

I knew about that, Greg... I just never thought of it as a "button", as it never needs "pushing"... a semantic thing which I didn't understand. No biggy. ;)

going over it will show the desktop, when you move away it changes back. by clicking on it you can move the mouse pointer away and just the desktop remains.
