They are created the *first* time you run gmc.
So you have either to delete all .gnome-desktop (but that will delete
all your other icons too).
Or you can easily create them, open a terminal and type:


cd ~/.gnome-desktop
ln -s /mnt/floppy floppy
ln -s /mnt/DOS_hda1 "My Windows disk"
ln -s /mnt/cdrom cdrom

etc. for anything on /mnt, the link name (the "floppy", "My Windows disk" etc
part of the commands above) can be anything (use quotes for special chars),
and can be in your language. Those strings will be what is displayed as icon
texts.

Then, click with right button on desktop and ask for re-read desktop icons
(or something like that). the new icons will appear; now you have to put
nice icons that fit you, click with right button on the icons and choose
whatever you like.

Ah... I misread it (I touhth it was BS working as Del...)
In the console how does Del work ?

That may be on the sources...
It's true that while ^? (a DEL char) is problematic on Linux, 
^[[3~ (A delete next char ANSI escape sequence) doesn't have such problems.
I'll ask to the gnome-terminal author if ^[[3~ can't be sent instead.
