Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Files in ~/Desktop not shown on the desktop. I use the desktop heavily to store, move, and work on files. With unity I see only the desktop background. That's a huge place without usage.

Thanks Benjamin for this bug report.

This is some kind of design decision. For this iteration, we won't show the file on the ~/Desktop as well. The idea is to click on the dash and search.

If you want to discuss it, I think the ayatana mailing list is the right place for it.

We just discussed about it again today and we will finally allow nautilus to draw the desktop, and then, those files.
