backup file (files ending in ~) visible in Desktop on disco, were correctly) hidden in cosmic and previous releases

[Jonathan Kamens]

Prior to disco, if I edited a file on my desktop with an editor such as emacs that created a backup file whose name ended in "~", then this file would be hidden from the Desktop view, which is arguably correct and useful behavior.

In disco, the file is annoyingly visible on the desktop.
