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.
.desktop files are not really supported any more as things to see or
click on. They are intended to be started through the Gnome interface.
Put them in "~/.local/share/applications" and they will show up in the
overview with everything else.
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".
I hadn't heard of that application before, but that's where the problem is.
$ xdg-mime query default application/x-desktop
org.gnome.Games.desktop
If you look in /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Games.desktop, you can
see it claims that mimetype. That does seem like a bad idea.
