What is the difference between a workspace, a viewport and a desktop?
Workspace - Literally what it means, a Work Space Not necessarily having any objects to manipulate Usually having some tools to start doing something
Viewport - A view into a piece of data stored on your system Could be a file viewer, or a file system viewer Also, could be a view onto network services like, network neighbourhood, www browser...
Desktop - The area of the screen (usually) visible to you for starting work. Also, a view into the Workspace.
