is it still gnome on Unity? (also see my other post re Mate files in Unity?)

I have not got the x-gvfs stuff (yet) I wondered as they did show before the 
move from /Media/User_Name/Drive to /mnt/Drive_Name, is there somewhere else I 
should change, I've done the change to
winecfg not that that effects launcher, 
unlink(ed) the old symlink
ln(ed) symlink with the new path, 
edit .config/user-dirs.dirs to reflect new path
