Hi All Friends,

Warning : I'm not a designer, but just a daily user of Ubuntu.



So let have a look on the "Desktop" paradigm.

We used to understand the "Desktop" as the one on real life.  The "desktop
contains our files(can contain Personal Data, Music, Pictures, Movies), this
is the way we used it just now. But in this way , the Desktop means the same
thing as our Home Folder.  it is a bit confusing. When we are working on
Computer, we don't have any sight of the "Desktop", so for most of the time
is irrelevant for us to keep on going with the "Desktop" as a Folder.

I think they was/are active discussion about this "Desktop" paradigm.

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.

Thanks All for reading me
