Friday, November 7, 2014 · 1 minute · 37 words

Add in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

gtk-shell-shows-desktop=0

Remove all entries in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs but let this one :

XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/"

If you remove this too, each time nautilus is launched, it will create a ~/Desktop folder.

Remove folder Desktop if it exists
