Well, I consider opening folders and devices on the desktop to be
"desktop actions", and thus the desktop should still be displayed.
Meanwhile, opening an application or file presumes that you only
wanted to get to your desktop to double click that file.

Again, it may be that they shouldn't act differently. It depends on
what users find the most intuitive.
