For those of you who have not followed the comment thread on the 'On Favouritism, Apologies, and Black Helicopters' story: I there promised to write an article about all the customisations I do on KDE to make it look and (more importantly) behave in my own preferred way; as a sort of Christmas present, so to speak (it is not like it is a fast news day today).

I also like an empty desktop, but I use gnome instead.

The empty desktop was interesting. Where do people keep current files and why? In Home?
I absolutely hate a cluttered desktop. This is my default:

In my opinion, the desktop is purely a canvas, it's not a file repository. Everything I work with is saved to an appropriate sub-directory in my home directory.
I'll admit I'm old school, but I only use drag and drop between windows when it's appropriate, otherwise I prefer to save files to a directory. I rarely use the desktop as a dumping ground. I cringe when I use my corporate XP laptop with it's plethora of desktop launchers etc.
Just my personal preference, though.
