In $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs I changed the line: XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME" to: XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" and commented out the rest. This removed the icons from the desktop, but also recreated those Pictures ... etc. dirs. Then I tried this: # This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update # If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're # interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run # Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped # homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an # absolute path. No other format is supported. # XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/tmp" XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/tmp" XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/tmp" XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/tmp" XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/tmp" XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/tmp" XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/tmp" and it seems to work (no icons, no dirs) however I don't know if it has any side effect or not. Uninstalling xdg-user-dirs is not possible since Gnome depends on it. In fact, Gnome depends even on packages such as evolution-plugins or totem-mozilla. 8-| -- http://people.eisenbits.com/~stf/ http://www.eisenbits.com/ OpenPGP: E3D9 C030 88F5 D254 434C 6683 17DD 22A0 8A3B 5CC0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
