Please, stop this inflamatory tone. KDE is using ~/Desktop for many years and no
other DE was ever using it. Now Gnome folks decided, that it is perhaps good
idea to use it too (I think so, btw, even as a KDE user) and have to deal with
the KDE specific files there. Not the other way  around. 

Gnome is the culprit there, not KDE - why should KDE developers patch their
software, just because Gnome people decided, they will change their standard? If
you enter a room and demand that everybody changes his place, just because you
want to sit in the middle, you would be swiftly kicked out. Regardles whether
your "sitting in the middle" is technically better. 

The quick (and dirty) patch for Gnome is already in place and this is a thing
for future standardization between KDE and GNOME teams. There is nothing wrong
with Gnome using the ~/Desktop, but they have to play by the rules then.
Alternativelly, the rules can be changed, but by mutual consensus only, not by
demanding, that the "other" one has to change.

So stop the flaming that KDE does not use VFS, that they should use virtual
files etc. Or submit a patch for that, that's even better.

Thanks.

Jan

When you have launched KDE and GNOME, you can see a "Home.desktop" file and a 
"Trash" directory. They come from KDE desktop and they shouldn't be displayed 
on GNOME desktop.
