Sure, new users are confused about everything.

New users aren't likely to even understand there is anything but a GUI
desktop or that there are options for the desktop. They are used to a
world where there is *the* desktop.

Since this conversation is about sleeves for media and most physical
media that we produce really isn't going to these sorts of new users I
think we are just drifting into another conversation about the
project's general treatment of desktop options which, while I'm
sympathetic to those who don't like the way they are treated now, is
basically a hoofies-up debate at this point.
