Re: Icons on the desktop

[Kao Chen <kaochen2 gmail com>]

I think also that is a good idea to change the desktop approach.
But I think that it could be heavy of consequences on the Gnome-Shell design . The conversion of the desktop is a major change for an interface and we need to decide at the beginning. I understand that we integrate a such change in several times but we need to decide now. If we add it later, It will be hard to get a good integration and keep  the consistency of the design.

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.
