hiding icons on desktop does not work
Last modified: 2018-10-24 15:21:17 EDT
Description of problem: Hiding icons on desktop via gnome-tweak-tool does not work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-3.22.3-3 gnome-tweak-tool-3.22.0-1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. open gnome-tweak-tool 2. click on Desktop tab 3. turn off "Icons on Desktop" switch Actual results: Icons on desktop should disappear. Expected results: Icons on desktop does not disappear. Additional info: When switch is on, checking checkboxes (with Home, Trash...) does work, though.
nautilus now ignores the gsetting when running under the classic session. enabling/disabling still works in a normal gnome session.
I think it is the same problem like: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1460768 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1454920 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1257763
It is possible (and Carlos will confirm or disconfirm) that desktop icons option is not valid for gnome-classic session. If so it should be disabled in that case otherwise it is quite confusing.

If so it should be disabled > in that case otherwise it is quite confusing. As comment 3 points out yes, it's not valid to disable them in gnome-classic session. I'm not aware that this was ever possible. I agree gnome-tweak-tool should disable that button when that's the case.
I agree that we should disable the button in classic mode, but I am not sure that this mostly cosmetic issue qualifies as a blocker.
Still reproducible in RHEL 7.6 with: gnome-tweak-tool-3.28.1-2.el7.noarch gnome-classic-session-3.28.1-4.el7.noarch nautilus-3.26.3.1-2.el7.x86_64
Hello Tomas, did you try it with clean installation? I have tried it and it is working for me in clean installation, but not in my "working RHEL".
Hello Vera, I tried on clean 7.6 installation on remote machine via VNC and it works. On my local working RHEL and RHEL in virtual machine, where both I have from version 7.3 it does not work.
@Carlos is there eventually some sort of nautilus/gnome-tweak-tools config that we should clean to switch back to default settings?
Seems Tweaks checks for that setting still, that's an issue upstream since it shouldn't check whether to show the button or not in that way. Will work with upstream for a solution.
I proposed a change upstream and I have a fix here, however it's missing the blocker flag (which I cannot see). I guess it can wait til 7.7
