Have more people here that "Desktop Folder" is created randomly in the home folder?

Pretty stupid. Someone sends you a file over iChat and the desktop folder opens even though the file is on the desktop!
The same thing happens when I connect two Macs over ethernet. A folder pops up with an alias to the network drive that is already on my desktop.

Not "Desktop" but "Desktop Folder"
I found out what the problem is. Chimera downloads to "Desktop Folder" until the download is complete and put it in the Desktop

If I open the Desktop Folder in my home directory it displays all the files I have on my desktop. I am of the firm believe that it is the same folder actually. The desktop is just like any other folder in that respect. Am I missing something here?

You should really read the posts better�
The folder that appears is named "Desktop Folder" , and it's not the folder named "Desktop".

well, in os 9 the desktop was an (invisible) "Desktop Folder"... maybe some developer(s) missed that in os x the desktop is now simply named "Desktop"...?
(correct me if i�m wrong btw.)
