Well, not for me friends!
Although my 3D (i.e. real life) office is rather messy (at least for other people, not for me of course), my computer desktop is rather simple.
I work usually with my laptop, as most people do these days, and, since I'm rather a CLI person, I like it 'naked'. I'm using XFCE as my window manager with 2 virtual desktops (featuring a dark, mostly black, photo from my favorite tv-show as a background picture and only 4 icons which I rarely open) and its tray sitting on the lower right corner with a bottom-up direction.
This tray contains (bottom -> up): battery readings, time/date, gwibber, RSIBreak, the sound applet and the open applications bar.
I have only two windows open all the time: xfce4-terminal (with at least 3 open tabs) and Firefox (with 2+ open tabs). Of course, when needed, I may open OpenOffice.org or some other windows, but usually I work with just these two.
Don't worry about underusing my laptop; it's actually a full LAMP server, working 24/7 and serving 4 web sites (for now).
You may find this arrangement rather minimalistic, but I find it very work-oriented and I prefer it from a more complicated one.
So, what is your desktop like? Visit The Light of the LAMP blog for more...
