[CentOS] CentOS 6 KDE: remove default icons
On my newly installed CentOS 6 I am running KDE (I think; I selected it in the setup, but how would I know?). It has three default icons: Computer; Root's Home; Trash. I do not see them in /root/Desktop. How can I remove them? Thanks, Mike. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

There must be something like "Show icons on desktop" somewhere... Or you could maybe google for something like: "kde hide desktop icons"...

I "solved" the problem with: yum remove nautilus But now, when I put a directory in /root/Desktop, it does not appear on the desktop. I am now looking for a another file manager -- perhaps the one used in my older CentOS. Mike. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Since you seem to be using Gnome and not KDE, you can google for "gnome hide dekstop icons", and the first answer will tell you how to hide those system icons (gconf-editor). But first reinstall nautilus. JD ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I am therefore reinstalling the system, selecting kde (as I did before) and deselecting (I hope) all gnome things. Thanks for your help.
