[expert] Gnome's Desktop Location

[Sevatio Octavio]

I'm trying to put files and folders onto gnome's desktop.  But I can't find its location in my home folder.  In KDE it's simply /home/user/Desktop.  I've tried /home/user/.gnome-desktop but that doesn't seem to be it.  Would any of you happen to know the real location of gnome's desktop?   Seve
