Comment: I think hiding the volumes on desktop is indeed the default (happened to me as well). That's just an /apps/nautilus/desktop GConf key to set to "true" by default. One reason why we should let these icons appear on the desktop is unmounting. You can't unmount volumes from the "Places" menu, so hiding the desktop icons would imply adding the disk-mounter applet in the default panel layout. I think showing them on the desktop is a better option. Another reason is that users plugging some device in their computer will probably wait for something to happen, and may not want to look into the Places menu to see that. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
