A "desktop environment" can mean anything ranging from a simple window
manager to a complete suite of desktop applications, such as KDE or GNOME.
"can mean" is very far from definition.
further reading shows that desktop is "where data and applications can be
placed".
i always though that data and application are on disk.
still no definition of desktop, but looks like desktop=ability to display
icon symbols of files and programs (which are files too) and ability to
provide "panel" for starting programs and doing some other maintenance.
do i say right?
