Speaking as someone "not used to SLC", do I understand it right, that when
clicking "Like" it will popup a menu letting you select the "Like" action
you like? That could be an option, but at least on the desktop, without SLC
settled in, I wouldn't see it as the "number one place" for this action
(setting picture as a wallpaper). At least not yet ;)

Thing is - is SLC going to be sort of mandatory on desktop and/or active?
What if people don't want to use it? In that case, we still need some sort
of fallback.
