Poll question: How Many Icons (Shortcuts) Are On Your 'Desktop' Right Now?

Assuming, of course, that you use an operating system with a GUI and desktop icons/shortcuts.

1. I'm a clutter-bunny... there are 65 icons on my desktop...

and I'll bet that half of them are ones that I'll never use again.

6. Damn, you beat me by about 10!

I hope for your sake you have a bigger screen than I do.

7. Zero

Only thing that is on my desktop fulltime is gkrellm (a collection of system monitors)

2. SuSE 9.1 -- 4 icons

Then again, the better question might be which desktop? I have four currently, but the answer would still be the same.

I like my interfaces uncluttered and well categorized. I have 6 in my kicker, including the big K menu.

8. Three here (GNOME on Tao Linux)

Home, Start Here, and Trash. What are yours?

By the way, Tao is a remastering of Red Hat Enterprise Linux without the Red Hat trademarks so you can copy it at will -- with Red Hat's blessing.

9. Waimea on Source Mage GNU/Linux

Love the real estate Waimea gives me, in addition to virtual desktops, I each desktop is 3x3 windows

13. Interesting. Is that distro of yours somewhat like Gentoo?

As in, compiling everything from source?

[qnr]

14. Yes, it's a source-based distro like Gentoo

has more info if you're ever considering checking out source-based distros.

16. Cool -- I hadn't heard about Tao

I have a friend who wants to upgrade their Red Hat system, but doesn't like what Red Hat has done with Fedora.

Right now, the only icons on my SuSE 9.1 Personal desktop are a folder containing the iso's for SuSE 9.1 Pro (I've been trying SuSE out and was going to make it my primary desktop OS but now I think I'll wait for 9.2), a folder containing the episodes for the anime Saikano, the trash, "My Computer" and Printer icons, and the SuSE greeter icon (don't really need it, but I like the way it looks :-) )


BTW: I'm a KDE kind of guy. Gnome is great, but I just feel more at home in KDE.

I have the usual recycling bin, my computer, my pictures, etc...plus only the essentials.

5. I have eighteen

10. You Minimalist Neat-Freaks!! That's Unnerving And Unnatural...

... so is your ACTUAL desktop just a LITTLE bit cluttered?? Or is it freakishly clean and organized too? :hi:

15. Freakishly clean and organized

Guilty as charged! :hi:

[blackcat77]

12. Zero

The things I regularly access are arranged in folders on the start menu. It's one more click but worth the tiny effort.

No junk on my real desktop either -- me and clutter just don't get along.

[AlFrankenFan]

17. 19...5 of which I use n.t

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

18. I've got 67

I haven't bothered to keep my computer very organized.

Also, my actual computer desk is pretty disorganized too.

19. 99 icons are on my desktop

99 icons I see
If one of those icons should happen to leave
98 icons are on my desktop

20. two.

21. 24

[Misunderestimator]

22. 65, but they are very well organized.

I also have 15 TSRs (Terminate Stay Resident) programs that load on startup, and 15 Quicklaunch icons.

23. Too lazy to count them.. YOU count 'em

[Nocturnes]

24. Zero

Icons per se, although I am running fluxbox and do not feel the need to clutter up the desktop
