[gnome] Same size icons on the desktop, how?

Hi!

Could you tell me how to make hdd drives icons on the gnome's desktop bigger then I've set in nautilus for windows and other...? I don't want to change icon size by using "change icon size" from icon's menu because when I change a few of them, they aren't the same size because of manual resizing. Is there any conf file?

I've found this:
/home/USER/.nautilus/metafiles/x-nautilus-desktop:%2F%2F%2F.xml

but whenever I add: icon_scale="my_size" to some icons

<file name="Movies" timestamp="1192972710" icon_position="32,1318" icon_scale="2.34"/>

after restarting gnome it doesn't change anything on desktop...

you should just be able to right-click on the icon and select "stretch icon" or what ever the exact phrase is. then drag the blue squares until it's the right size.

I meant not using "stretch icon" option...

I don't know of any other method.

OK, it's works now

After editing /home/USER/.nautilus/metafiles/x-nautilus-desktop:%2F%2F%2F.xml it's good to pkill nautilus and then changes will take effect.
