I see them as icons with names such as "File Manager", etc. I think this has to do with the fact that .desktop files are treated differently from normal files. I had to use a terminal and the "ls" command to see them.<br />How do I prevent Gnome from starting nautilus at boot time and 'handling' my desktop. The desktop can be handled by pcmanfm as well and I want pcmanfm to that for me. To enable that however I always first need to kill the running nautilus process first before I see pcmanfm take over the desktop.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05585804176529027166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13170605.post-49804192134425586612008-09-07T08:54:00.000+05:302008-09-07T08:54:00.000+05:30I hope so.

PCMan is quite similar to Thunar and it's a great addition to Gnome. I tested it some time ago and I think sooner or later it will become the default Gnome file manager, following the same path as Dolphin in KDE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13170605.post-62942098762202783182008-05-12T10:04:00.000+05:302008-05-12T10:04:00.000+05:30Hey thank youWas a typing mistake and have correct...Hey thank you<BR/>Was a typing mistake and have corrected it [:)]Ambuj Varshneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17019111035308065261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13170605.post-17976322891821612252008-05-12T02:38:00.000+05:302008-05-12T02:38:00.000+05:30Mi humilde aporte,la carpeta es /usr/share/applica...Mi humilde aporte,<BR/>la carpeta es /usr/share/applications , no "/user/share/applications" (user != usr)<BR/><BR/>Un abrazo!<BR/>Desde Argentina.
