On small screens I think having separate buttons for several different
functions on the launcher is pretty wasteful. Two more minimal ideas:

-launcher context menu
right click anywhere in the free space and on the home button/other
dedicated place in case it's full

-hot corners
this is the way it works on OS X, the option should of course be
exposed without having to install CCSM

alternatively:
keep the current button design of the workspace switcher and extend it
so you can add and remove certain special buttons such as the spread
view or "show desktop" via a yet to be written launcher option dialog.
