Now you guys are just getting Geeky about this.

First. What makes you think that 'a Newbie from Windows' has any idea
just what this 'desktop thing' is all about?

Second. I would guess that if 'a Newbie from Windows' showed up to
download that someone showed him where to go and made strong suggestions
something like 'this one is what I use'.

Third. I would be willing to bet that many of them would name the
wallpaper if you ask them what a Windows desktop is.  :-)

What makes you think that 'a Newbie from Windows' has any idea just what
a 'desktop' is?

Sheesh.
