Disable Computer, Home, Trash, Network Gnome Desktop Icons in GNOME
  Mar 24, 2011

I can not stand icons cluttering up my view and transparent terminals. This is the first thing I do on all my GNOME boxes.

  1. Run gconf-editor from the terminal or go to the GNOME menu bar -> Applications -> System Tools -> Configuration Editor

Disable just those icons:

  1. navigate to /apps/nautilus/desktop
  2. uncheck computer_icon_visible
  3. uncheck home_icon_visible
  4. uncheck network_icon_visible
  5. uncheck trash_icon_visible
  6. uncheck

Disable all desktop icons:

  1. navigate to /apps/nautilus/preferences
  2. uncheck show desktop
