Re: [gnome-flashback] Future of Nautilus desktop

[Alberts Muktupāvels <alberts muktupavels gmail com>]

Hi,

may I ask someone to open bug here:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-flashback/issues

(I know it was done in bugzilla, but I can not access bug list anymore...)

There is now gnome-shell extension for desktop icons and nautilus has added some functionality so we should be able to create our own desktop window for icons. :)

Hi,

Debian unstable now ships nautilus 3.30, here are some brief
instructions to use nemo to manage desktop icons under gnome-flashback:

$ sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install nemo
$ cat << EOF > ~/.config/autostart/nemo-desktop.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Exec=nemo-desktop
Name=nemo-desktop
EOF

Ciao,
   Antonio
