The ability to launch terminals and browsers. Multiple virtual
desktops/workspaces.  Keyboard shortcuts to switch to other windows and
desktops. A terminal emulator with easy-to-switch profiles, so I can assign
different colors to different ssh sessions (to different machines). An icon
that notifies me of new mail.  An easy way to change the volume level of my
headphones.

An easy way to find my mouse pointer, when the desktop supports it.

 5. Optional but highly desired: Send me a screenshot of your desktop.

I'm not at work, but it's just a bunch of terminal windows.
