any solution??
Comment 2 Florian Müllner 2016-11-23 14:08:04 UTC 
You should see something similar to

  ** (nautilus-desktop:5341): WARNING **: Desktop icons only supported on X11. Desktop not created

in the journal. In other words: The issue isn't with the setting, it's that the program that implements the feature (nautilus-desktop) only works with the X11 backend. It should probably call something like

  gdk_set_allowed_backends ("x11,*");

during initialization, in the meantime you can run it manually with

  GDK_BACKEND=x11 nautilus-desktop

This should work now in nautilus 3.22.2. Thanks Florian!
