gnome-shell is not involved in drawing desktop icons, but the file manager. Are you using nemo as implied by the referenced bug? Nautilus? (In reply to Florian Müllner from comment #2) > gnome-shell is not involved in drawing desktop icons, but the file manager. > Are you using nemo as implied by the referenced bug? Nautilus? It is a default installation of Fedora 19. There seems to be nothing called nemo: [mfabian@Fedora-19-RC3-x86_64-netinst ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i nemo [mfabian@Fedora-19-RC3-x86_64-netinst ~]$ ps aux | grep -i nemo mfabian 12110 0.0 0.0 112660 896 pts/1 S+ 16:30 0:00 grep --color=auto -i nemo [mfabian@Fedora-19-RC3-x86_64-netinst ~]$ [mfabian@Fedora-19-RC3-x86_64-netinst ~]$ ps aux | grep -i nautilus mfabian 7575 0.0 1.2 941708 24704 ?

So this “--force-desktop” option probably causes the problem. The argument is coming from nautilus-classic.desktop. The problem still exists in Fedora 20 Beta TC4. I don't consider this a bug. Desktop icons are a fixed part of the gnome-classic setup. We introduced the --force-desktop option specifically to be independent of the setting.

With this in mind, gnome-tweak-tool should probably not show the corresponding option in classic mode. Yes, it is weird if the icons disappear and suddenly appear again later. Not showing the option in gnome-tweak-tool would be less confusing. |
