Bug Description

Changing the icon size in nautilus (ctrl-+ or ctrl--) causes the size of icons on the desktop to change too. No GUI method to change icon sizes on desktop alone.

Expected behavior: size of icons on desktop does not change
Actual behavior: size of icons on desktop scales along with icons in nautilus

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
