Our minds work in different ways.  :-)  Nautilus is just a file-viewer, 
but the default one of the Ubuntu desktop.  I believe you can access it 
via your "Places" menu.  For example

Places->Home Folder

Should bring up a nautilus view of your home directory.

I'm not a big fan of unnecessary clutter on my desktop.  Which is 
ironic, see, since I have so much of it there.  Sigh.  One of these I'll 
get back to those papers I've been meaning to read ...

Cheers,

Kevin
