service Desktop
Description
is the environment for components which can instantiate within frames

A desktop environment contains tasks with one or more frames in which components can be loaded. The term "task" or naming a frame as a "task frame" is not in any way related to any additional implemented interfaces, it's just because these frames use task windows.
