manager.
If it was implemented, I think it would be essential that there was a
very quick way to get back to the 'original desktop' - I.E the
~/Desktop folder.
Given that we currently use Nautilus for the desktop, it is not much

It breaks the analogy of the desktop being (mostly) static. Anything
activated from the desktop goes in a new window, though
