[ale] Next CentOS-7.0 question

[kilpatms at comcast.net]

run in terminal:  cp /backup/file  /home/me/Desktop
and the file is moved to the correct directory.

But . . . .

It doesn't show up on the desktop! It's there, according to the terminal and an ls command.

It's also there via the GUI if I open a file manager and look at /me/Desktop.

So how do I get the icons (and files) to show up on the actual desktop?
