Right click -> View -> Show desktop icons. I don't even miss it anymore, and have been a lot more organized since.
- snogglethorpe 14y agoOne little nit that annoys me about modern desktop environments is they keep creating the stupid Desktop directory... I don't use a desktop at all, and always disable it entirely, so I remove the directory as well... next time I notice, whoops, it's there again! !#@$& grumble It's not just desktop environments, many other "big apps" seem to create this directory as well... argh.
