Using EXWM, while I can have a "wallpaper" and transparent buffers to see it I agree with the author the "desktop" concept was a fail to replicate in a virtual world the physical desktop, something like we have seen for entire virtual offices in the old general-magic [1] Icons are still hyper-used by many and considered deprecated for similar reasons: you can quick launch something and it will inevitably cover anything. Unfortunately people do not really want a "desktop computing model", even most programmers fails to understand it stating it's impossible. Even some fellows admins when I rarely present something in org-mode seems to feel the WOW effect and have issues understandings what happen. It's a shame for a reason: understanding computing is the key for a social advance, like almost any new tech, but such knowledge MUST BE spread in the sense that not only few techies have it. To evolve people need to understand the tech and profit from it. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Cap https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Cap
