This is a long shot, but take a look at "~/.config/user-dirs.dirs".
Is XDG_DESKTOP_DIR set to "$HOME/Desktop" as it should be?

T.C.:
Sometimes long shots are the best and, in this case, that was it. It was
$HOME and, when I changed to $HOME/Desktop, I was back in business. Many
thanks !!!
I am thinking there may be a bug here as I couldn't change it through
gconf-editor, but I'm going to have to run tests to confirm that. Right
now, the poor laptop is screaming at me to get its display repaired, so
off it goes and I'll look into it when I get the machine back. I think
the test is "delete" ~Desktop and log back in ... restoring ~Desktop and
then playing in gconf-editor doesn't get that setting back.
Also, I am on F14 and this machine will be such until I am able to
migrate per 3rd party apps. I doubt if the developers care about a gnome
2.3 problem now that they are gnome 3.x. And, as you mentioned, the
latest version doesn't have a Desktop so its even more meaningless.
Once again, I appreciate your taking the time to help me with this,
Paul
