I accidentally blew away some files in ${HOME}, including ~/Desktop. Now
when I log in for a desktop session, Nautilus apparently uses ~ as the
"desktop" filling my screen with hundreds of icons for all the
accumulated cruft from my home directory ;-)
I figured that once I restored the Desktop directory, my nice clean
desktop would re-appear, but no such luck. Nautilus continues to spew
junk all over the screen.
Gconf doesn't seem to have the answer either:
$ gconftool-2 -R /apps/nautilus
start-state = []
/apps/nautilus/desktop:
home_icon_visible = true
network_icon_visible = false
computer_icon_visible = true
trash_icon_name = (no value set)
home_icon_name = (no value set)
trash_icon_visible = true
volumes_visible = true
computer_icon_name = (no value set)
/apps/nautilus/list_view: ...
/apps/nautilus/icon_view: ...
/apps/nautilus/sidebar_panels: ...
/apps/nautilus/sidebar_panels/tree: ...
/apps/nautilus/preferences:
...
desktop_is_home_dir = false <---###
...
Any ideas how to reverse the damage?
