Students aren't likely to be an issue, but the teachers ... that is a different story. Anytime something doesn't behave or have a feature 'just like Windows' they get antsy. <br>

--type boolean \<br>
--set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop true<br>
<br>
sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source \<br>
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \<br>
--type boolean \<br>
--set /apps/nautilus/desktop/home_icon_visible true<br>
<br>
The next time the user logs in, they should have them on the desktop.<br>

Make sure the user's gconfd dies.<br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks! I'll try this. Though is this going to be an issue with the users still moving between LTSP5/LTSP4.2 along with Edubuntu 9.10 and CentOS 5.4? e.g. finding conflicts between how gnome behaves on the systems? I suspect I have some surprises still waiting for me.<br>
<br>I do like Edubuntu 9.10 though. <br><br>Sincerely,<br>Dave Hopkins<br><br></div><br></div><br>
