similar problems here. -- fresh gutsy install, noticed that copying files from various folders to the desktop was actually putting them into .Trash.
i emptied the trash and restarted through gnome. now, gnome was treating my home folder as ~/Desktop, and the desktop_as_home_dir option was not set in the gconf XML file. some fiddling around with the gconf setting and restarting several times yielded nothing. found this post and set the variable. this fixed the problem after a full restart. i had copied over my home folder from a fiesty install. perhaps this caused the issue? -- though i don't remember these files in fiesty? these are part of freedesktop? thanks. jcran -- files from ~ shown on desktop (desktop_is_home_dir == false) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154037 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
