Re: screenshot of Beta 2

Good day.

The name of the new icon is desktop-home.png.  To fix your problem just 
go to your ~/.gnome-desktop and remove your home .desktop file. 
Nautilus will automagiclly regenerate it.

The reasoning behind the change;  The old icon was called 
"temp-home.png", but it had been in use for over a year.  Not very temp, eh?

I figured, if we don't change this now, we're going to be stuck with an 
icon called "temp-home.png" forever, or at least until GNOME 3.

I did, by the way, send a mail to desktop-devel-list announcing this 
change and telling theme authors that their themes needed to be changed. 
I suppose that I should have been more specific in that e-mail.

If you feel strongly about it, Havoc, change it back, I just think that 
it's lame to have a file name that doesn't describe what something is.
