What desktop-folder?  Do you mean if I drag an icon onto the desktop?  What if
I don't drag an icon onto the desktop?  Perhaps gmc should place an icon on
the dektop when it starts that gives you access to "crucial functionality" --
killing the app and help, for instance.  This icon would be on the desktop as
long as gmc was running.

So the filemanager is a "desktop server"?
