[Nautilus-list] Re: Desktop folder

[Anne et Bertrand <anneetbertrand wanadoo fr>]

This isn't a nautilus issue. You don't have to access to the desktop via 
nautilus, because the desktop is "where you are" by default. If you want 
to put something on it, just drag it on the wallpaper of your screen.

What's really annoying me is that KDE "Desktop" directory in my home. I 
don't use KDE, so it's confusing : this "Desktop" folder isn't mine !!!!!

The problem is : how to access your desktop from applications ? The 
desktop folder should be a possible choice in the file-selector of every 
application. It is in the ximian version of gtk . There are three buttons 
in the default file-selector : Home, Desktop, Documents, which point to ~, 
.gnome-desktop and ~/Documents.
This is Macos policy, this is Beos policy. I think this is is not in 
Windows (excuse me if I fail : I don't use...). This should be the gnome 
policy. Maybe in Gnome-2.2 ?
