Yeah, lets not kill everything too quick. There are many uses for those
"unneccessary" things that we have just not thought of, since we have
not had a real, working file manager / desktop too long. Like I could
set a [DRAFT] background to a folder that contains pre-release stuff,
and [CONFIDENTIAL] for all the s3kr1t Ximian conspiracy work* etc etc..

There are uses for all those visual candy once you start to think of
Nautilus as your primary way of poking at files. I use the terminal less
and less these days. Try to have a week without using the terminal at
all. Before you say it is not realistic, remember that this is what
*new* users are going to do since they do not know how to use one.. a
good thing to think about.
