How to Hide/Display icon on Ubuntu desktop, using gconf-editor.

How to Hide/Display icon on desktop, gconf-editor.

Refer to the article "How to Restore KDE's Default Settings", many icons of the folder/files inside my desktop folder come-out on Desktop. I prefer a clean desktop without it.

To hide icon of desktop, gconf-editor can be used.

- Press ALT-F2 to call out Run Application Dialog, type gconf-editor in the Edit Text Box and click Run.


- Browse to /apps/nautilus/preferences/, un-check the value box of show_desktop



The icons gone now :)
