To be honest to me all are desktops, but here I'm talking about the 
mouse/keybord driven one, ym sure every one will get it... atention we rea not 
discarding all our eforts in all all of our other "desktops" applications, 
frameworks etc, but for the upcoming 4.10 we give a extra bit of "love" into 
the basics.... again by basics I meen the stuf most people use, aka windows 
taskbars, themes integration, etc.
