I did pretty much exactly what you did, (only four desktops).
I skipped the step you mentioned:
*AND*, before all this will work, one has to also select the Folder View for the desktop. "
because I don't want folder view. That allows you to view a folder as your desktop which is pretty much required if you want to have icons on the desktop as I understand.
I don't use "folder view". I use "desktop" view and add a widget, "Folder View", to the desktop. You can tell it to display the contents of the desktop or and folder/directory.
It *is* different and requires a "little getting used to" and some investigation. But it works and pretty good.
I wasn't implying an ignorance of folder view. I have used it, in both modes, as a widget and a full desktop. I simply prefer not to use it at all in either mode if I don't have to in order to achieve stability. I'm content to keep icons off the desktop at this point. Yet again today, I zoomed out, saw 6 Activities for my 4 desktops. And NONE of them had the red X so that I could delete them. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
