Nice way to implement this! Is it then also possible to disable system wide as well as per user?
Right now the systemwide setting comes from the default value for the GConf key /apps/nautilus/desktop/predefined_items_dir. This key points to a directory that holds the .desktop files that will be shown in users' desktops. You can change this sytemwide default; if you remove the default value, no icons will be added to desktops. To do it on a per-user basis, you can use a tool like Sabayon to define per-user GConf defaults. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(In reply to comment #2 from Willem Meens) To do it on a per-user basis, you can use a tool like Sabayon to define per-user GConf defaults.
Why such a complicated scheme? Why not just put the desktop files in /etc/skel/Desktop so a user can decide if they want them?

Federico, JP: this is really a major issue since it will clutter everybody's desktop. I'd consider this a ship stopper :/
I agree. You can't even move the icons around without getting an Error dialog. Stephen- can you make a decision on this? It really feels like these icons should be rolled back before GM. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

beta3 installs 2 icons "openSUSE" and "Online Help" on the Desktop, but those 2 icons are owned by root, making them impossible (or hard) to remove.
I found the two icons on the desktop locked, and where do you think they were? Not in the desktop folder, no, they are in /usr/share/dist/desktop-files/ You need to use nautilus file browser as root. I do this by opening a root terminal and starting it from a command line. Then I cut and past them somewhere else and keep them for prosperity. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
