It also affects me, the same way as described, only with *.desktop files. Ubuntu 12.10 64-bits. Also using Gnome Shell from PPA, Nautilus 3.6.3.
I recall that the first time this happened I changed the size of the icon in my desktop and this border disappeared, but this is not working now. ** Attachment added: "Captura de tela de 2012-12-02 16:46:20.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1085320/+attachment/3449949/+files/Captura%20de%20tela%20de%202012-12-02%2016%3A46%3A20.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085320 Title: White borders around *.desktop files on the desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1085320/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
