Desktop Icons on GNOME

GNOME has traditionally always been one to prefer the benefits of a clean Desktop.

But I'm not one for traditions.

There's an GNOME extention available called Desktop Icons NG (DIN)1.

What I needed to do was:

  • copy the application file (thingy.desktop) from /usr/share/applications somewhere and then drag it onto my Desktop.
  • Make it Executable
  • Set it to "Allow launching"
