Hello all,
I am locking down a desktop, and when the .desktop files for a user
are made root:root 644, a padlock icon is shown by them.
I would like to avoid this, as it makes the desktop look more unfriendly.
I have looked in GConf, but didn't find anything specific - however, I
might not have looked in the right places.
Is there a way to disable the displaying of the padlock for icons?
Calum
This is very easy to deal with:-
Using a terminal window;
$ cd /home/<user-name>
$su <enter>
Password: <type root password, <enter>>
# chown -R <use-name> Desktop <enter>
and quit the terminal. Now the owner of that profile owns and has full
rights to anything on the Desktop.
