[ale] duh [was: gnome 2.4 workspace switching]

[J.M. Taylor]

Nautilus doesn't show up in any gui configurator thing I could find.  
However, you definitely put me on the right track, so many thanks!

My solution:
gconftool-2 /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop -t bool -s false

So, I am icon free and much happier.

Thanks!

Obviously, a man's judgement cannot be better than the information on which he
has based it.  Give him the truth and he may still go wrong when he has
the chance to be right, but give him no news or present him only with distorted
and incomplete data, with ignorant, sloppy or biased reporting, with propaganda
and deliberate falsehoods, and you destroy his whole reasoning processes, and
make him something less than a man.
