Title: hidden files are never shown on Gnome desktop Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus Hidden files are never shown on the desktop. Even when i enable "Show hidden and backup files" in Nautilus > Preferences only regular folders and files are shown there. When i browse the "Desktop" folder in Nautilus directly all hidden files are all shown correctly according to my preferences (can easily be switched by CTRL+H). So the files are there but there is no option to show them on my desktop. Steps to reproduce: 1) create a new hidden file on the desktop 2) press F5 to refresh and it will disapear Expected behaviour: Hidden file is shown according to the "Show hidden and backup files" preferences of Nautilus. Even better would be an additional setting to enable hidden files for desktop separatly without enabling them in Nautilus folder view. This behaviour occurs no matter if it is a hidden file or a hidden folder. Ubuntu version is 9.04 with all updates.
