My laptop's desktop is still full of crap thought. I almost never use it anyway, but next time I use it, I'll clean this one as well.
Post its snapshot here at first.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Here's my desktop:
•Debian wheezy running GNOME.
•I generally go through computers fast enough that it's not worth messing around with configuration too much, but I have changed the theme a little
•As for GNOME vs KDE, I don't really care. They're all the same to me.
•I don't put anything on my desktop. All of my common programs are on shortcut keys, and on the quick launch bar at the bottom.
•My main screen is the one on the right, with no toolbars.
•Terminal is probably the third most used program on my computer. Except for the file and web browsers.
Terminal gives you access to commandline utilities, which can do some things faster than a GUI can. For example, if you want to move all .jpg files in a given directory somewhere else, in the GUI you'd switch the directory listing to sort by type, drag to select all the .jpg files, and then drag them into the new destination; on the commandline, you'd type "mv *jpg destination". Of course there are some things the GUI does better than the commandline; it's all a matter of the right tool for the job. However, basically any non-graphical work I need to do I know how to do on the commandline, so it scores bonus points for familiarity.

Don't lie! I see the GIMP icon, a panda, two fish, a naked gryphon, a naked cat, another naked cat, a furry eating a watermelon, a furry's head, whatever "fetish-trans...." is, whatever "CHUUU_po..." is, cat tails in "Images", Absol's name, another cat in "logo", "Sonic and Garfiel...", "Kaput Otter", "#furry people that want i...", and more obscure fur references! Your desktop is so furry!

Complimented by an on-screen display whose behavior I can't seem to manipulate have since been able to manipulate to my liking, thanks to the assistance of the author of the plugin, kode54. I don't really have a use for the desktop, but that's so much utility and space gone to waste. I might install Rainmeter in order to make use of it.
