[Usability] gnome ui - suggestion ?

[Florent Kirchner <florent kirchner wanadoo fr>]

        Great job on the ui, and on the gnome project in general. Keep
       up... !

       Ok, here's a quick suggestion that just came to my attention, I
       really don't know what it's worth.
       How about a functionnality that could display the contents of,
       say, a folder on the desktop; and one could imagine a 'cleanup
       desktop' button that would restore the usual desktop contents
       (home, cdrom, floppy,trash, etc...)'Makes sense in the so-called
       'Desktop metaphor'...
