On F7 there was a utility, under preferences if I remember correctly, that I could run to set this but I cannot find anything on my F8 install.Hi, Just a guess, but is it possible that this is because Fedora uses xdg-user-dirs and you have changed the path to the desktop? Check ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and see what XDG_DESKTOP_DIR is set as.
Hello Sven,Thank you very much. That was the answer. XDG_DESKTOP_DIR was set to my home directory. Changing it to $HOME/Desktop fixed the problem.
I am much indebted to you and I have filed that information away for any possible future use.
