Hello

Minor issue really, but would be nice if I could sort it out, so help
would be welcomed:


My Lenny system faithfully automounts CDs and USB data sticks,etc., but
when I am in Gnome, these automounted devices are not iconised on the
desktop itself. If I go into "computer" (or whatever it is called), I
can double click the device icon and then it will appear on the desktop.


Whenever I switch over to Xfce4 or even KDE for a change, the icon
appears on the desktop automagically.


Anyone have any suggested fixes to this minor inconvenience?

Cheers

Andy

You could try to run gconf-editor and look for apps->nautilus->desktop
to check if "Volumes visible" is checked. If that does not solve it, I
do not know.

Thanks Johan

I think that I see where my question was ambiguous. I should've made
clearer that once I've clicked on the device in "computer", the icon
loads onto the desktop. What I wanted to find out how to do was to have
that icon come onto the desktop automatically whenever a device is found
and automounted.


But thanks for gconf-editor - news to me and helpful ... thank you!!

Cheers

Andy
