PS. Because i don't get definition of desktop i used there and in other
posts:
desktop is one complete full screen workspace.
be it text or graphics doesn't matter.
PS2. still waiting for precise desktop definition, because i think that
this term is regularly misused.
It is easily as nephanous a concept as "Operating
System" (which see:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3A%22operating+system%22
)
(noting carefully that at least one of those items
is the canonical definition of a kernel)
(And more to the point, that virtually any explicitly
named item could be deleted, and probably has
been in some operating system somewhere).
A concise definition is not really possible for
"desktop" since it is not a technical nor scientific
term. Unless you wish to define it dogmatically,
in which case: good luck.
In the sense of common use, a desktop is not
more than a presentation of user applications.
