Description Bruce-Robert Pocock 2001-09-10 01:18:58 UTC 
"In conjunction with the new Start menu, Windows XP includes the new Desktop 
Cleanup Wizard. Although all the primary links for Windows components have been 
moved to the Start menu, thus making the desktop truly the “user’s space,” 
newly installed applications and Internet downloads can still clutter the 
desktop. Windows XP makes it easy to keep your desktop clean by periodically 
offering to store icons that you haven't used in a long time in a special 
folder on the desktop."

This functionality could be beneficial, but I actually expect it to be annoying 
to the vast majority of us. If this feature is implemented, I believe that it 
should be disabled by default.

Well since the reporter even thinks it should not be on by default, i
would mark this wont fix. All we need is more options.

This is not an issue in gnome, so its a solution to a non-existant
problem. The hig also will specify the desktop as user space only in
the near future.
