Netbooks have small desktop room for files and icons  
Written by dioxholster the 21 May 12 at 02:21. Related project: Unity. New
Files rested on the desktop can pile up and overtake an entire desktop space, many times being obfuscating the wallpaper and isn't a clean look. This is often the case with netbooks.

Solution #1: different desktop shortcuts and files spreadout in all workspaces
Written by dioxholster the 21 May 12 at 02:21.
have each workspace have its own desktop shortcuts as placed by the user while File Manager can show all of them in the same folder oblivious to the aforementioned visual setup. For example, a user can prefer to have his downloaded files be sorted into one workspace while the other workspace next to it houses miscellaneous files, and one being completely devoid of icons and files. This way, workspaces can be utilized in secondary non-app way. Other proposals related are wallpaper variances for each workspace.

Solution #2: allow scrolling of the desktop

when the desktop becomes full, have the default setting allow horizontal or vertical scrolling (maybe give the ability for the user to choose which) of the desktop to view more files and icons.
