Package: gnome-session-bin
Version: 3.4.2.1-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I set this as important as i believe alot of people still
like to have icons on their desktop
Applications/SystemTools/Preferences/AdvancedSettings
, and there'll be toggles in this app, the first toggle allows
items to be on the desktop
Toggling item#1 does not work as expected if it has been toggled
previously.
Toggling item#1 the first time probably works.
What I mean by "work", is the user does not have to re-login in
order to see the change.
I must elaborately say with a guilt of speculation, that I'm using
vbox guest additions in this VM I have running debian7 testing, and
i'm hoping it's not causing any disturbance
