Summary:

I use my dell-mini 12 with Dell defaults SO. In "Clasic desktop", my
desktop view is showing the contents of "/home/myuser" instead showing
the contents of "/home/myuser/Desktop". I guess it is a bug because it's
not the default behaivour of UNIX SO.


Steps to Reproduce: turn on the computer


Expected result: in Desktop view the contents of "/home/myuser/Desktop" or any if the directory doesn't exist.


Actual result: In Desktop view is showed the contents of "/home/myuser/"

Bug description:
Hi there,

I use my dell-mini 12 with Dell defaults SO.  In "Clasic desktop", my  desktop view is showing the contents of "/home/myuser" instead showing the contents of "/home/myuser/Desktop". I guess it is a bug because it's not the default behaivour of UNIX SO.

I like to have a desktop without any contents, how I could do it?

My system:

$ uname -a
Linux myhost 2.6.24-19-lpia #1 SMP Mon Nov 3 15:25:26 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

I use GNOME as desktop in a dell mini 12"
