One of the raison d'êtres of Plan 9 is the _absence_ of such things. If you want Linux, use Linux; if you want Plan 9, use Plan 9. Conceptual impurity is an evil, and not a necessary one.
P.S. The desktop metaphor is a relict. Actually, it never quite worked, but most people don't care to notice. Plan 9 is ahead of it's time by a good 30 years (sigh).
P.P.S. To quote Dijksta, "I was pleasantly surprised to find that the dictionary description of 'elegant' is 'simple and surprisingly effective'."
