Re: Major change in desktop handling

I see your point; however, if the problem is that users might get
confused that it's a folder and not the desktop, it might be clearer to
just use a different icon.  OS X, Windows and KDE also use a special
icon and it seems to work well for users over there.

BTW, is the emblem appearing in the emblem manipulation GUI?  That could
be confusing...
