Re: Desktop Icons With Nautilus

["Rick" <rickfriedman onebox com>]

The way I create the desktop icons with Nautilus as follows:

1. Open a Nautilus window for your .gnome-desktop folder
2. Open the Gnome program menu.
3. In order to create a desktop icon, drag the application from the Gnome
menu to the .gnome-desktop folder and drop it there.

This will create a copy of the "link" on your desktop.
