I would like to customise what are the icons which will appear on
my linux desktop. I would like only specific apps to only appear on it
and do not wish to include the Home directory icon and the
Trash icon.
I have gone into the .gnome-desktop directory and rm the
home directory file and trash file and even edit out the lines
in the .nautilus xml file. I log off the user and save session
But when I login back again, the Home directory and Trash
reappear again !!
Distribution: Gentoo, Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat/CentOS

Ok you got me there, it was early when I posted
hmm. well that trash icon is a .png image laying in some file I would sniff around till I find it and change the name of it by deleting the first letter. When you login again it should be gone...however I don't know what this will do to your system -<disclaimer>Try at your own risk</disclaimer> good luck!
