This [1] is a mockup I made 1 year and half ago. I'm not sure if it can still be interesting/useful in the next gnome evolution. Still to me is a step forward to the current desktop icon management. In addition to Cosimo's points i think the desktop is also often used as a "buffer" for temporary file operation, works in progress or not yet categorized files.
