Each Metview session defines a home folder (by default it is ~/metview). This folder is set as both the home and root folder for Desktop! This has two implications. First, the home folder icon

Notes for MetviewUI users
Are there still dot files in Desktop?
MetviewUI stores icon positions and types in hidden files (dot files). There is one such file for each icon. In Desktop this information is still stored but there is only one dot file per folder.

The central part of Desktop can contain multiple tabs each showing a different folder. Folder navigation works for each tab independently.
A new tab New tabs can be added by the blue button at the right edge of the tab bar or by using the Ctrl+T keyboard shourtcut.
