Re: Can we make Linux Desktop Enviroment beyond the Desktop Metaphor?

thanks for your point of view.

1, In the desktop metaphor, "windows" that does not exist.
Whatever you have any amount of windows or applets, you don't have to
minimize the windows, just simply zoom in/out to get to applets.

2,If you're going to give up changed , just drag the document to
trash-applet to delete it or creat a new docment,
as you working in physical desktop

3,What I mean is that you can pile and stack applets or documents on
desktop

thinking more about our physical desktop :)

At work I run with 16 windows under fvwm.
Here at home, running KDE with 8 desktop windows.

Currently I have 32 custom desktop shortcuts spread around the edges
because it is nothing for me to have 2 to 4 apps in running in any of
the 8 desktop windows I happen to be in at the time.
In your suggestion, I would constantly be window shading/minimizing
apps to get to applets.

8, While you're writting in a text-editor(applet), the data saved
automatically; user wouldn't asked to save it with a filename,

Not in my world. Every once in awhile I have to scrap the work, and
start over.

9, Just drag and drop to arrange/organize your document and applet on
desktop by pile and stack;

Excuse me, but pile and stack just become the menu I already have in the Task bar.
