Yeah, that'd probably be good for the Windows-philes migrating over to
Linux. It'd be sorta useless for me, though: I don't have icons on my
desktop. I loathe desktop icons. I just have my dockapps and my
right-click/f12 menu and my aterm.
In fact, if it wasn't for better screen resolution, scrolling,
cut-and-pasting, and the need for a graphical web browser, I wouldn't
even be using X-Windows most of the time.
Maybe that's just me, though. I guess there are other people who like
desktop icons, improbable though that seems to me.
