Here is a repetition of what could describe a desktop problem that fall into |
| 2 |
our field of research. What do you think? |

For me, a desktop problem is not always a problem wich involve window |
| 6 |
managers, or graphical interface. |

I would tend to say that desktop means workstation for private use, client |
| 9 |
side. That is, everything UI oriented. That includes windows manager, but also |
| 10 |
config programs, installation problems, software installations, and simple |
| 11 |
(client-side personal use) system managment. By client side I mean everything |
| 12 |
that does not use servers. So setting internet/lan connection is desktop, but |
| 13 |
setting a ftp server is not. |

In addition, bringing hardware to work for home user is also part of the |
| 16 |
job. |
