Install gnome-tweak-tool (this is a must for everyone using Gnome3,
you can't modify anything without it). Then go to "Desktop" and enable
"Icons on Desktop".

I don't use Gnome normally but I believe you can drag icons from the
menu onto the desktop.

Gnome Desktop w/ icons

2016-04-10 Thread Ethan Rosenberg 

Dear List -

How do I get a desktop with normal icons.  All I am getting now is a heading on the left saying 
"activities" w/ no ability to place Icons on the desktop.


TIA
