Re: Major change in desktop handling

[Dave Camp <dave ximian com>]

That's the point of this patch.  Desktop is owned by the user, and
displayed by nautilus.  It is where users put their documents,
downloads, etc.  It needs to be user-visible.

The patch puts the volume/home/trash links in memory to avoid touching a
user-owned directory.
