This bug involves nautilus and elements of gnome-panel, but I don't know
where to file it. Please let me know so I can do this properly in the
future.
The user desktop directory (~/Desktop) is available in the Places menu by
default, however,
this directory can be dragged around in many bad ways. This can result in
either copying or
moving the desktop directory in ways that have odd effects. Using only the
menu, I accidently
moved the desktop directory to places other than ~/Desktop. I have not found a
simple way to get
these changes to be reversed. Modifying the GConf key for nautilis has no
effect, and I had to
make changes to a configuration file that normal users would not know about and
is hidden.
When this first happened I had accidently moved the desktop to
~/dwhelper/Desktop while I was browsing
the ~/dwhelper/ directory for videos. How this happened I don't know, and I
wasn't aware it had happened. My
desktop directory was moved, but nothing changed from my perspective as a user.
Later I went to browse the
dwhelper/ directory and saw Desktop/ in there and tried to delete it, but it
couldn't be deleted.
