Alain,

Two answers:-

Sensible: because I prefer to go broad before going for depth - or more 
prosaically because when I'm in Gnome the folder icons on the Desktop 
serve as a reminder and ToDo list without having to open the File 
Browser to look in Desktop/Work

'Ornery: because it seemed simple enough, then became a challenge, then 
became a frustration of something more difficult than it at first seemed 
- and I couldn't leave it at that, now could I?

Yours IS more sensible!
