Hi Fire up the gnome-tweak-tool and in there you can select Nautilus to control the desktop. Could not find the gnome-tweak-tool. It is installed cause I checked in install/remove software. So how do I proceed now? Thanks. Bob
Can I give you any more info about what I did to follow your instructions or anything else I can do to get icons on the desktop. Once a program is installed, I can only find it in the launcher at the left, and can't move the icons to the desktop. Thanks. Bob
Hi Start the tweak tool, and activate the slider; http://paste.opensuse.org/62643567
got the tweak tool, I guess. In advanced settings. Matched things like the page you listed: http://paste.opensuse.org/62643567 Still don't know what the slider is. Sorry. Now what is next? thanks. Bob
Just finished checking previous emails and found one from Lynn re: t-bird icon. She said to use Nautilus and go to /usr/share/applications and rt click the icon u want. Then copy and paste it to the desktop. That works, Thanks for your troubles and patience. If u have the time, please explain what you meant by "slider" in your post. It's a good way to learn.
