Update. Now that I know where Gnome keeps my favorites information, I made a copy of this database file, then started removing entries from my favorites. The icons resize feature is still working. I got down to a single icon, which I could not remove. (There was no option to remove the last icon available.) I then removed the "user" file completely and rebooted. The "user" file returned with the single icon I had left. There must be another copy of the information from this file somewhere else. Any ideas where? I then began adding icons into my favorites selection. Each icron was added to the bottom of the chain, as they should. As the favorites icron chain got to the bottom of the screen, the chain scrolled off the bottom. I could still add icons but I could not see the bottom 3, or so, icons that I added last. As I added even more icons, the chain resized to use smaller icons, but I still could not see the bottom 3. It us almost as if somewhere something believes the screen is actually deeper that it really is by an inch or two. Any ideas how to fix this? Any ideas how to get the gnome-shell to rebuild the "user" file? Any ideas at all?

Thank you. Now I can make a copy of the "user" file and experiment with fixing my problem, knowing I can copy the original file back, if I mess up. The name and location of this file is what I was missing.Jake

--Not being a GNOME user I don't have any particular better idea. However, your suggestion has one "problem". The information about favorites it kept in ~/.config/dconf/user and is not plain text.On 01/07/14 10:18, Jake Dancer wrote:
Hello,I'm running with a fully updated Fedora 20 system. When I click on the "activities" icon in the upper left corner, I get the favorites list, except the bottom part is now cut off. I believe Gnome should be switching to a small set of icons for the list. Up until a few days ago I would see the complete list using smaller icons, but no longer. I have quite a few packages installed on this system, so it's possible that one of them is messing up Gnome's icon switching software. Does anyone have any idea where Gnome hides the favorites list? I think it should be in my home directory, but multiple searches have not located it. I have this problem on multiple machines, but they all have the same packages installed. What I would like to do is temporarily remove each favorite item, one at a timeto see which icron is causing the trouble/ Any better ideas to try?
