Description of problem: HAving running F22/Allpha/TC8/gnome3 with nautilus as file manager. If I try to resize the desktop icons to a smaller size (select an icon with left mouse button, then open the context menu with right mouse button and say: "resize icon"). Trying to resize by mouse button 1 to a smaller size fails (the selection rectangle's size will not change). Additionally, it seems the icons are rather huge on the desktop (the sizes in F21 are smaller!). I will attach a screen photo Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-3.15.90-1.fc22.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.see description 2. 3. Actual results: no resizing possible Expected results: resizing will be performed Additional info:
Resizing works fine here, also with 3.15.90. The oversize icons are a known issue that will be fixed before 3.16
1. Perhaps it helps that I'm using my complete desktop well grown in F21, where the resizing works well. 2. Increasing the icon size works well, but not making smaller
Creating a new user shows the same problems
Resizing icons works for me (using a new install of F22). Try renaming your Gnome config files to see if it will work then. Start with these files: ~/.config/dconf/ ~/.config/nautilus/ If resizing still doesn't work, rename these as well: ~/.gnome ~/.gconf ~/.local/share/nautilus ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/ I think one (or some) of those should be relevant. You'll have to turn desktop icons back on (via gnome-tweak-tool) before you can test resizing.
Oh, I just realized creating a new user would do just that.. Hmm. Have you updated to 3.15.91? Does the issue still persist with the latest updates?

If you have sudo set up, just type sudo dnf upgrade into a terminal. Otherwise, su to switch to the administrator account and then dnf upgrade To check the version of gnome-shell that you currently have, type sudo dnf info gnome-shell Or go to Gnome Control Center (Settings) -> Details.
sudo dnf upgrade Using metadata from Tue Mar 10 10:45:12 2015 Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. backes@eule [~/Desktop]: sudo dnf upgrade gnome-shell Using metadata from Tue Mar 10 10:45:12 2015 Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. So seems not available found in any f22 repo :-(
I checked now the same with 3.15.91, but i's not possible to make the icons size arbitrarily smaller.

Solved by configuring Nautilus using the files menue in the gnome dashboard appearing if opening some nautilus window on the desktop.
