Missing trash Icon

Hi,

Anyone know how to add "Trash" icon to gnome3 desktop.

Mine is missing.

Someone moved the trashcan...now it's in the nautilus file browser @ the left...

A sad thing, but...so is Gnome3...I gave up trying to get one (a trashcan) on the desktop...

Hey Thor,

Thanx for the response.

Unfortunately, it's nowhere on Nautilus screen.

Hmm, I think I expressed a bit vague - sorry ... the program you use to explore the drive(s) with the little drawers as icon (is that the nautilus?), that program has an icon for the trash - now it's a folder (it seems) instead of a real trascan on the screen...

I dont think it's possible anymore to even have a trashcan

or any icons...

My main reason to make a swift move to XFCE ... as soon as I am 100% sure it's safe for my system...

It is nautilus, and yes it has its own trash folder...so I guess I'll have to get used to that.

But I have 3 nautilus icons on my gnome3 desktop along with all the other icons for applications (and some are duplicates). How can I delete the ones I do not wish to keep?

On previous versions of fc, I was able to set up and delete icons using "Edit Menu"; in fc15 it ain't that easy!!

Thanx again for your help.

Perhaps this can help, don't know if it works in gnome3 though.

It's there along with computer.
In debian it's "Configuration Editor" under Applications>>System Tools

Op doesn't say which Os.

Open gconf or configuration editor go to
apps>>nautilus>>desktop place a check in the appropriate boxes.

...unless of course, mine does not have any entries in apps>>nautilus>>desktop - I use the fall-back by the way.

But, it's just an excersice...Gnome3 is on the way out for me...

Thanks Everyone for your help.

I tried to set the flags for the trash icon using the Configuration editor but somehow the name "Trash" is missing and cannot be set.

I did manage to get the trash icon on the main screen after logging in, but when I go to the "Activities" desktop it ain't there.

Anyone know how to get back to the first screen from the Activities desktop?
