I think same about straight copy. Then I should have in skel all potentialy possible folders for used national names.

>From $SUBJECT: Gnome. But now I'm almost sure that Nautilus can displays only ~/Desktop folder content, nothing else. Thus isn't possible configure it via GConf. And because I have all my other needs (theme, background, keyboard layout and switching, panel, nautilus, metacity etc) satisfactorily adjusted in default/mandatory settings and schema settings via gconftool-2, then is probably unnecessarily for me use sabayon - which as I conceive do its job at user profile side, not at global system side - thus maybe is difficult determine some mandatory settings. And regarding icons at desktop, sabayon cannot introduce some usefulness. It appears as windozes have this handled a little better :), at this time I perhaps stay with my symlinks. Maybe still try supress symlinks sign (arrow in box at icon corner), which act little intrusive. When it is in Nautilus possible, I not know.
