But for me:

You need to create it (copy it there) first:

   cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-terminal.desktop ~/Desktop

Then install and run "gnome-tweak-tool" package:

   yum -y install gnome-tweak-tool

When using GNOME Shell, run gnome-tweak-tool, enable "Icons on Desktop".

Double-click the gnome-terminal icon on desktop to start a terminal.
After a reboot (at least here), the terminal starts in / dir instead
of $HOME.
Oh, so this is what I need to do to get terminal on my desktop like I use to have all the time, but have gotten use to no longer having?

Otherwise, what does creating this file gain me? I have already enabled Icons on Desktop.

Oh, and I have lost <ctl-alt-l> to lock my desktop. somewhere along with all this tweaking.
