How can I remove it from the desktop? Sounds like you are showing your home folder as your desktop folder. There are two ways this can happen. There is a GConf setting that will let you display your home folder as your desktop, or, you could have your XDG_DESKTOP_DIR set to $HOME. To make sure your home dir isn't being used as your desktop dir in gconf, run this command: gconftool-2 -s /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir --type=bool false make sure that all appears on one line. You will need to restart nautilus to see the changes, just log out and then in again. If that doesn't work, you need to edit your XDG user-dirs file: gedit .config/user-dirs.dirs your DESKTOP entry should point to something like "$HOME/Desktop" Daniel _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
