I like being able to park documents into separate folders organized by type, and having that on the desktop -- but only as a shortcut to the actual folder.
I would like it if OpenOffice could detect directories with a leading dot '.' even more.
But I don't want to see the entire contents of my home directory displayed on the desktop.
Thanks

Oh, please no!
I am not interested in seeing the whole contents of my home directory on
my desktop. Seeing your home directory as your desktop is only good if
you have 6-10 things in your home directory...more than that, and you
have a UI problem.
