[sclug] Gnome 2.4 hiding desktop icons

[Tim Sutton]

Hi all

I decided to install Gnome 2.4 the other day on my Debian box to see how the 
'other half' lives (I am a self confessed kde junkie :-). It looks pretty 
nice barring a couple of niggles (like ok defaulting to button on right 
rather than left :-( and the gnome terminal being nowhere near as nice as 
konsole). One thing I cant see how to do is how to hide the desktop icons - I 
like a 'clean desktop'. I suppose I could just chmod a-rwx ~/Desktop but 
there must be a neater way? 

Cheers
