To add: If you activate "Single window navigation" in Tracker preferences, the Desktop folder opens in its own Tracker window.

Replying to humdinger:
That is a design decision. The Desktop folder is always open as fullscreen in the back of all other windows.
Oh, I see. Thanks

To clarify further, Tracker uses "spatial navigation" by default. If you open a folder in a window, then double-click on that same folder from another window, a second window won't be opened, but the already-opened window for that folder will be raised. The "Desktop" is already "open", hence it isn't opened again.
Indeed you can switch to "single window navigation" (non-spatial mode) if you prefer (and I usually do.)
