Here is how to remove user's home folder etc from desktop
I like to keep my desktop clean, and perhaps someone else too. So here is how to remove home folder, computer and trash from desktop:
1. Open terminal
2. On terminal type: gconf-editor
3. Configuration Editor opens. From there navigate to: apps --> nautilus --> desktop
4. Untick all the icons you dont want to see
5. You are done, the icons should dissappear immeadiately
I just learned this and thought to share. Have a good one

Perhaps this should be added to a section of the GNOME wiki article or another appropriate wiki page.

Well, you are free to register at the Arch Wiki and edit the main GNOME article yourself. I think it's a useful tip: as a new GNOME user I would have been happy to have had it at hand immediately

He should be banned before he starts submitting patches!
Lol, I read the first post, then the last, and then I was like "What did he do wrong?"
