I dunno. I need to ask Ettore. Personally I wish to do a
s/evolution/.evolution/g as soon as possible, since there really is no
reason I can think of why it is a non-hidden dir. It's not like a user
should be going there to poke stuff with the filemanager..
    
    but yeah, a solution to be able to turn off things from appearing on the
    desktop would be a great help.  or some easy way for users to select the
    desktop in the file selector if desktop != $HOME. 

Ximian has a patch to gtk that adds buttons for Desktop and Home. I
guess there is a gnome file selector in the works too that should sort
of help. But I just think the most clear and simple case is to just have
home and desktop be the same thing.
