Re: RH7.3/ximian desktop- Double icons on desktop

[Anne et Bertrand <anneetbertrand wanadoo fr>]

I suppose this could be this : these icons are the desktop icons of gmc 
- aka Gnome Midnight Commander - (because gmc is also a desktop 
manager). These represent the same files as the icons displayed by 
nautilus on the desktop.
But you can run gmc as a file manager only (and nautilus too).
They have command line options to avoid the display of the desktop.

In a terminal, you can type : gmc --nodesktop 
For nautilus it's :
nautilus --no-desktop  (for nautilus)

So if you want to launch gmc from the panel without the desktop icons, 
just modify the launcher.
You can use gmenu -as root- to modify the entries of the gnome menu.
Maybe there is another tool in RedHat for distribution wide menus (in 
order to have the same menus in Gnome, Kde, Wmaker, etc.). I don't know 
it.


Conclusion : this isn't a bug of gmc, it's a "bug" in the panel entry 
for gmc.

If you want to know the command line options of a programm, usually you 
can type in a terminal :

name_of_the_program --help

You get a list of the options
