All this is already covered in the design document:
"In the Shell design, the "desktop" folder should no longer be presented
as if it resides behind all open windows. We should have another way of
representing ephemeral and working set objects."

See http://people.gnome.org/~mccann/shell/design/GNOME_Shell-20091114.pdf
page 42. The though is to replace it with a journal in the long term.
