Public bug reported:
In the major DE, windows & mac, the desktop is a desktop. It has files
on it. If you click on the desktop, focus goes to it, and ctrl+n will
open a new file browsing window (Mac Finder or Windows Explorer) and
ctrl+shift+n will create a new folder. If you right-click on the
desktop, you should be able to create a new folder, properties, restore
missing files, open in Terminal, etc. It's supposed to be part of the
desktop environment. However, in GNOME, the desktop doesn't feel like a
desktop. It's theoretically the directory /home/USERNAME/Desktop, but in
GNOME I can't start manipulating Files (Nautilus) by focusing on the
desktop with a click nor an alt-tab.
