IIRC you can run "gconf-editor" and look in the "nautilus" folder under "apps" and there's a setting for the path of the folder that is displayed on the desktop. If it's not there, it's somewhere to be found in gconf-editor. Unfortunately, I don't have a F14 box handy and GNOME 3 doesn't even have a desktop, so I can't go looking for it ATM. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
