I just had to replace the SSD in my laptop, which for reasons that would deserve a discussion thread of their own, I ended up having to do a complete reinstall. Then I restored all my home directory files. So what I have is a clean F31, but my own account from the old F30 system was restored. I am using "GNOME on Xorg" as the desktop environment.
The problem I have is with Desktop files (in ~/Desktop). First I didn't see them at all, then found with some Googling that I needed to turn off display of the Trash icon, which now allows me to see the Desktop files. There are two issues:
1) The desktop icons are visible, but the Icons=file line in them seems to be ignored.
2) When I double click one, the Exec=command is executed, but it also opens a full-screen window that I figured out is "gnome-games".
For #1, I first did a little research with dnf and discovered that I needed to install the "comps-extras" package to bring back the files in /usr/share/pixmaps/comps . But this did not fix the issue, even after I restarted gnome-shell (with ALT-F2 and "r"). So I logged out and back in again, but no joy. I did check to ensure that my account can read the specified image files.
For #2, I would like to know how I can stop the execution of gnome-games. With a little trial and error, I discovered that if I iconify the gnome-games window the first time it comes up, then the Desktop icons double-click-execute properly, but if I instead kill the gnome-games window, then it pops up again next time I double-click an icon.
A sample Desktop file is below. Both issues occur whether or not I have the leading "#!" line.
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

Thanks for any pointers.
