lacks everything but the very basic functionality.
Two buttons when we can go with just one (using $HOME as desktop)???
This doesn't help to make a simpler, cleaner, gnome desktop.

Find files faster? I can't imagine a faster way to find my files than
having them in front of me. I can't also understand why people insist in
having two different locations for something unique, which force two

Now, with desktop = $HOME, everything is cleaned up. It forces you to
clean up things.
If we are going to let users crap the $HOME dir, and have a tidy
