Several linux distributions don't even allow you to save to the desktop. This is something that I've given a lot of thought after observing non sophisticated computer users for years. They just don't understand files - where to save them, where to find them, how to name them, organize them, etc.
I think the approach used on mobile devices is the correct way forward. Files should be associated with applications and not savable to the desktop. I also think that desktops/laptops should have a 'files' browsing menu next to the 'applications' menu like this distribution (Elementary OS)
