Displaying "MyComputer", "Trash", "Network Servers" Icons On A GNOME Desktop This short guide describes how you can configure your GNOME desktop to display various icons such as My Computer, Network Servers, Trash, etc. on the desktop. By default, these items are placed on one of the panels (Trash) or hidden in the Places menu. Having these icons on the desktop is useful if you switch from a Windows desktop to a GNOME desktop and are used to having them on the desktop.

This was very helpful indeed. I was looking for a way to restore the Trash icon on a Gnome desktop and found your tutorial. Thanx again!

I want to get rid of ALL desktop icons, so I use dconf-editor, and no matter how many desktop-managers/window-managers I happen to have installed, nearly always I can drill down to "background" and prevent the display of all that detritus ! ;)
