Hi all Currently I'm thinking of a possibility to use the desktop as a reflection of my thoughts and work instead of a simple background image with bookmarks on it. Therefore I would like to display these items in a semantic network directly on my desktop. It would also function as dashboard and central control panel, where I can start applications and open files, always in the context of a project and not in a global menu or file hierarchy. The backend software I would use for this is called DeepaMehta (http://www.deepamehta.de), but that's only my personal preference as a knowledge worker. More generally spoken, I think it would be a good idea if there was a possibility to replace the background image with the application mostly used (be it eclipse, a mail client, rhythmbox or you say what). Since I'm no GNOME developer I'm looking for help. I don't know if there already exists an API for this. But in any case I think it would be best to build a prototype first to see if it works and what unexpected problems arise. Furthermore, comments on this idea are welcome. I really would love to see my vision come true. Best Urs
