Actually :) :). The folder icon looks like a manilla folder :) :) :). Also, the main view where the wallpaper goes is called a desktop according to the same metaphor of a computer being a desk with a desktop where you store and view files.

It seems like a bit of a mixed metaphor since you don't normally paste wallpaper onto a desk's top.

  It's definitely a mixed metaphor. It still works, though. Wallpaper is paper used to decorate a wall; in this case the wall is a vertical desk.

  I don't keep my garbage can on my desk, either :-). Yes, this is certainly a mixed metaphor - possibly even a cliche.
