If it ever gets implemented in TOS, remember that sometimes one would like to
be able to delete a hidden folder, so atleast offer the possibility to unhide
hidden items on the desktop. Perhaps an option like 'show hidden' and make them
ligther on screen or something like that.
It also makes it easier to keep track on what is on the disk if the number of
bytes that is hidden on a disk is mentionen in the 'disk info' dialog as it
is in Neodesk.
