Dear Frank: Thank you very much for working with me. I was able to run "nautilus -n", logoug and log back in. I was also able to run gconf-editor and find "apps/nautilus/preferences", but in there there are five settings and none is "show desktop". Although I can see things that relate to the desktop such as "desktop_font", there is no "show desktop".
I did create the key "show_desktop" and set it. But upon logging out and back in, there is still no desktop. Perhaps there is one more step?
