GNOME Flashback has builtin desktop icons! Only org.gnome.gnome- flashback.desktop settings control whether gnome-flashback shows or not desktop icons. "org.gnome.gnome-flashback.desktop show-icons false" shows that icons are disabled. :)
If you still get icons you have some other application auto-started that provides desktop icons. From your GSettings list it could be nemo. Check if there is nemo and/or nemo-desktop process running. ** Package changed: metacity (Ubuntu) => gnome-flashback (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1893110 Title: Cant remove desktop icons ubuntu 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-flashback/+bug/1893110/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
