Never understood the point of "a desktop" because of this. Why bother to have programs you only use on-demand just sitting there? The same thing, that I find more useful, can be achieved by actually running the programs you need (through a run menu) and just having them exist. Windows are my desktop icons, I don't need what I don't use.

There's more than one preference on how to do things.
