It’s always interesting to see other people’s desktops – the choice of wallpaper, and the visible icons tell a story about who you are, and what are you into.
Here is mine:

This is from my laptop. My windows desktop looks this way:
Here is another one – not technically mine (university’s property), but I get to use it to work on my project. This is an awesome 2 CPU JDS machine from Sun:
Can you see the pattern here?
Anyways, show me yours. Just take screenshot, upload it to flickr or photobucket and post a link to it in the comments (note – the img tag will be stripped by WordPress), or even better just blog it and send me a trackback. :)

My desktop
Not much of interest for the icons, i like it clean.
Dual screen, too bad the second can’t go higher than 800*600 witout getting blurry (tft), but it is a tochscreen :P (very cool for winamp and stuff)
My desktop
aaargh, typed too fast :o
Heh, I was wondering what this space to the left did. :P
Touch screen = awesome! Do you actually have a dual head video card, or does this screen connect in some other way?
Two of my users are really fond of the VillageTronic VTBook cards for their laptops. It plugs into PCIMCIA slot, and lets you connect additional monitors. Their ATI card can handle a single external monitor, and the laptop LCD simultaneously, so this card gives them 3 screens in total. They love it.
It’s a desktop with a fairly older dual head vga card.
i’d rather have my workplace setup: 2 19″ TFT’s :p, just because
The touch part connects over a serial cable.
All of mine for the past year are here: http://www.fr3d.org/desktop/
:D
hmm… lot of contrast on numbers of icons between your laptop and desktop – one’s almost empty the other’s almost full
also, a potentially useful tool for people of many wallpapers is this: http://www.sb-software.com/wallpaper/
It sits in the systray and changes you wallpaper at timed intervals
I hide my icons.
Matt, – yeah, I know – one is used mostly for work while the other is for pointless crap. Where is yours? :P
Fred – I can’t tell if your desktop is Windows with a KDE like theme, or KDE with a WinXP like theme. lol
Jenn – show us! :mrgreen:
Cant be bothered with screenshots and uploading and so on, but my wallpaper comes from the Hubble telescope 8)
any of the below:

http://hubblesite.org/gallery/wallpaper/pr2006001a/
http://hubblesite.org/gallery/wallpaper/pr2006007a/
either that or wallpapers from assorted comics sites, but mainly the Hubble stuff
It’s Windows with a KDE WindowBlinds theme :)
That’s what I thought when I saw the Outlook and IE icons, but then again, I was able to run these under Wine without much issues.

Gentoo Linux
Gnome
Compiz
Vista window theme
I win ;o
I was hoping for money or something :)
Nice Rub3X :)
Would look better with a Mac OS X theme, as that is the OS that introduces the expose (viewing thumbs of all open windows) concept, and Mac OS is better than Vista anyway :p
What application are you using for the expose-like functionality though?
I have no basis for comparison, cause I haven’t really played around with Vista but I’d 2nd that just because OSX has BSD underpinnings. ;)
I am multi-heading, so here are two shots:
Left Side
Right Side
FYI- This is not MacOSX (I hear that alot). I am running XFCE on Solaris 10.
Nice! It actually looks kinda Gnome-ish – I would say Gnome if you wouldn’t say it was XFCE. It doesn’t look like OSX at all though – at least to me.
Btw, I gotta ask – what is the Mario icon for?
Btw, I uploaded another one – look up in the post.

Just XGL/Compiz
The Mario icon start/stops xmms (xmms -t to be exact). I typically listen to ormgas,com at work.
