<font face="Arial">Hi, all --<br>
<br>
I think I posted a "thank you" to Brian yesterday, 'cause this seemed
to fix the problem. It occurred again (OK, I was screwing around with
the home directory <span class="moz-smiley-s3"><span> ;-) </span></span>),
and I checked to see of the desktop_is_home_dir option was checked. It
wasn't. The problem was that the user-dirs.dirs file in the .config
directory was screwed up. When I edited the file to make the desktop
/$HOME/Desktop, it worked fine. If anybody else has this problem, look
in both places.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>

Open the Gnome Configuration Editor and go into:
/apps/nautilus/preferences and uncheck the
"desktop_is_home_dir" option and see if that helps.<br>

I just loaded Gutsy on my computer. It seems to work OK -- except for
one thing. All of the files and directories in my home directory
appear on the desktop! There's a directory marked Directory that
includes what it's supposed to (almost empty -- just a terminal), but a
whole lot more stuff appears. Any ideas why?<br>
