Trash
Nautilus includes a Trash icon similar to that of other operating
systems; files inside the Trash are not deleted until you choose to
do so. The Trash bin can be opened by double-clicking on the
desktop icon. It opens as a Nautilus window, which allows you to
easily move files in and out. To empty the Trash, right-click on the
desktop icon and select Empty Trash Bin.

Applications can be dragged and dropped from the Panel
to the desktop.
Applications can be dragged and dropped from the Main
Menu onto the desktop.
Creating a launcher manually can be tricky. In most cases,
it is best to drag and drop an application from the
Applications or the Panel.

The graphical desktop allows for the use of multiple
workspaces.
Workspaces are virtual desktops .
each workspace has the same background, panel,
and desktop shortcuts. Using the workspaces allows you to
separate your
applications and avoid a cluttered desktop area.
Using workspaces can also organize your work flow.
For example, some users will choose one workspace for
potential distractions
like email and instant massagers and choose another
workspace for their office applications.

Next to the Workspace Switcher is the Taskbar. The
Taskbar is an applet that shows you the titles of
running applications on any one virtual desktop. This
is helpful if you decide to minimize an application, as it
seems to disappear from the desktop.
