Following the latest discussion on the desktop and where user files 
should be, I've started to think about a new use for the desktop, here 
are my ideas:

remove it from the filesystem (it's not a good place to store files as said)
Instead use it like an application, something like karamba, that is able 
to show system information,something to manage devices (something that 
kde lacks by now, a GOOD thing to manage devices and partitions I mean) 
notes, calculator etc etc. AND the ability to put symlinks on it, make 
it able to show up OVER windows (using a keystroke), better in a 
semi-transparent way (maybe with a squared halo around widget to keep 
them visible) and you have a decent tool to manage and organize files 
(you can keep you $HOME organized and then symlink folders on the desktop)
What do you think about this?

Cheers

Luca
