From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: The RedHat 9 help docs refer to an option in the Nautilus preferences to stop Nautilus from drawing the desktop. This option is not available in the preferences. From Nautilus help docs table 1.10: Use Nautilus to draw the desktop Select this option to use Nautilus to manage your desktop background. If you do not use Nautilus to manage your desktop background, you cannot do the following: Use the Desktop Background menu. Use Nautilus to change the pattern or color of the desktop background. Use the Nautilus Home launcher and Trash launcher. The Home launcher and Trash launcher are not displayed on the desktop background. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.2.1-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RH 9 with GNOME 2. Log in as any user 3. Home folder-->Edit-->Preferences Actual Results: No option is available as described in the help docs. Expected Results: I expected to see an option that would disable Nautilus from drawing the desktop. This option was available in the RH 8 release of Nautilus Additional info:
That preference was removed from the properties dialog. You need to use gconf-editor (or gconftool-2) to change the /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop key.
No such reference i recent docs. Closing.
