The destinction between the "Desktop" and "Appearance" systemsetting modules is certainly not clear. I always have to guess where to search and often enough I choose wrongly.
Most prominent examples are desktop effects and screensaver. I do not understand why they are specific to the "desktop"...
Desktop effects deal with a lot more than just what the average user might see as the desktop. It's window animation and transparency and all such things.
