Gnome 3: Become Your Trash Tin Together With Calculator Icons Back

I of late upgraded from Debian vi (aka "squeeze") to seven (aka "wheezy"). Debian wheezy runs a newer version of the desktop environment, GNOME three (up from GNOME 2). With GNOME 3, sure enough desktop actions that users were able to produce inward GNOME two pick out been disabled past times default.

Below are but about desktop features removed past times default that I honor peculiarly annoying:

• No Trash Can icon on the desktop.
  
• No Computer or Home icon on the desktop.
  
• Right clicking on the desktop does non pick out upward a menu.
  
• Files inward your Desktop directory (/home//Desktop) produce non seem on the desktop.

It turns out that amongst a few tardily steps y'all tin add together those features dorsum to your desktop. Here is how:

1. Login to GNOME desktop.
   
2. Click Applications/System Tools/Preferences/Advanced Settings.
   
3. Click Desktop
   
4. Click to enable the Have file manager handgrip the desktop setting.

   This volition restore the correct click to the desktop equally good equally display files inward your Desktop directory.

   Note that this setting must hold upward enabled if y'all desire to display the Computer/Home/Trash icons.
   

5. Click to enable Computer icon visible on desktop setting.
   
6. Click to enable Home icon visible on desktop setting.
   
7. Click to enable Trash icon visible on desktop setting.

With the higher upward customization, GNOME three is a petty to a greater extent than hospitable to its desktop together with laptop users.
