This brings a question about the traditional way of the "desktop": Presentation and use. Currently the desktop area (excluding panels and any open windows) consists of icons and the wallpaper. I guess we can use this (presumably less-visible) area better, and it could become more useful. Without gdesklets, I'm not talking about that. Your idea would be great, if the desktop was presented in a tabbed fashion, selectively displaying a few of the default folders.
