kemical Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 A quite essential hack as this seems to be a frequently asked question. By default, Nautilus takes control over the desktop with icons and right-click-menus. Quite a lot of users don't like this, and used to disable this setting in the preferences with earlier versions of N. With Nautilus 2.2 this preference was removed from the gui. To disable this now, use gconftool and set a certain option to false (or find, create and disable the relevant option in gconf-editor) gconftool -t bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop -s false source : http://jodrell.net/gnome-hacks/hacks.html?id=8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasa Maximov Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Update for Gnome 2.28 and up: Because of a regression caused by bugfix, you need also set: gconftool -t bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/exit_with_last_window -s false Reference: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=571417#c31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
