Settings frobbed in gconf-editor usually take effect immediately in my (admittedly limited) experience. A logout should definitely suffice. There must be something else going on. This is a long shot, but take a look at "~/.config/user-dirs.dirs". Is XDG_DESKTOP_DIR set to "$HOME/Desktop" as it should be? -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?
