Hello there,

I can't see any desktop icons using xubuntu 20.04 in gnome with xorg, i tried to install dconf editor but enabling desktop icons doesn't work it, also i tried to change the DE to another gnome with xorg but it doesn't work.

However i can see the desktop icons manually browsing into the folder.
Thanks for your help.
