 When attempting to open a Tracker window of the Desktop folder, the system
 seems to think that the Desktop is already open. The user thinks it is
 broken. This idea is not right. There is a difference between the Desktop,
 that space behind all your open Windows that has theTrash, Disk Icons, and
 all the stuff the user places there, and a Desktop Tracker Window, a fully
 functional Tracker Window. In the Tracker one can sort by attributes such
 as Name, Size, Kind, Modified etc. One should also be able to modify
 attributes such as Artist, Title, Album etc.

 We should think of the Desktop as the background that can hold files,
 replicants etc, but not as if it were an open Tracker Window. The Desktop
 Tracker Window is really where the files are stored, the Desktop is just
 another, limited, special representation of this folder.
