I made a little update of my mockup with a big fat .gif just here:

I hope that you'll love it.

I am not really aware about the technique.
But we can use just folders. For each new project (desktop), we create a new
desktop-folder.
And we hide a background photo in the folder with a point (
.folderBackground.png).

I think folders can be very simple to use and easy to manage for the devs
and for the users.
