However, if you DID want to, you could set some mandatory gconf keys: sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source \ xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \ --type boolean \ --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop true sudo gconftool-2 --direct --config-source \ xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \ --type boolean \ --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/home_icon_visible true The next time the user logs in, they should have them on the desktop. Make sure the user's gconfd dies. Scott -- Scott L. Balneaves | The human race has one really effective weapon, Systems Department | and that is laughter.
