Here is my Idea : Why not start thinking of the Desktop as just A Big (pin)Wall !

So we could add Notice , link (shotcuts), pictures, and more relevant things to the Wall through Widget. as a background for the Wall, light 'Wall'papers are just a logical choice.�
Designer could think about any other possibilty the Wall paradigm �could bring to the user's experience.

The important thing in paradigms is not their names. But how a new one can be benefit to us.
Before introducing a new one. You need to specify what are the�inconveniences�of the current paradigm.

And there are many questions you should ask:
What are the problems?
How the new one can help?
Why this can't be done in the previous one?
How much things/apps should be rewritten?
What are the limits of the new paradigm?
�etc...

Any links to scientific publications and work is also welcome.
Thanks,
