Re: No application or applet icons in gmome-shell-3.10.3

[Yaa101 <yaa101 xs4all nl>]

There are no application icons in the top panel, however there are
various gnome extensions to install an applications menu in the top bar.

You can find extensions at https://extensions.gnome.org/, you do need a
firefox add-on to properly use this website. However a lot of their
programmers use a github page to store their extensions, so you can get
them there too.

To enable desktop icons you need to set the setting in
gnome-tweak-tool, which is a python application for advanced
gnome-shell settings.
