  > My claim is that when your typical user sees the word "desktop", they don't think of the generic concept of the desktop metaphor (which is a developer concept).
  
  Using different terminology among users and developers is wrong. Sometimes one just has to learn new words, that's it.
  
  I get your point, but it's inaccurate as desktop effects affect different components in a desktop environment in one or another way. Therefore there's nothing wrong with the desktop part.
  
  We'll get nowhere with such a "code review" style. I'm against this change because of reasons stated in my first comment and I won't change my mind. If someone else from #kwin <https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/kwin/> agrees with you, then go for it.
