I installed gnome-tweak-tool so I could fix mouse behavior. When I select Applications->Accessories->Advanced Settings and then choose Desktop it shows the following:<br><br>Have file manager handle the desktop off<br>
Computer Icon visible on desktop on<br>Home icon visible on desktop on<br>Network Servers icon visible on desktop off<br>Trash icon visible on desktop on<br>Show mounted volumes on the desktop on<br>
<br><br>I logout and login again and nothing shows up on the desktop. Even if I drag an application from the menu to the desktop it doesn't show up. I can drag an application from the menu to the top panel but only there. In F14 I could choose either the panel or the desktop. <br>
<br>So is there a way to get stuff to show up on the desktop?<br><br> Also in F14 after I select which user id I want to login as I can
choose which windowing environment I want, e.g. I can select Gnome, KDE
etc. This no longer seems to be an option. Does this option exist in F16? If so how do I set it up?<br><br>Regarding languages there is an issue. I configured the language to be Italian. However, the only thing that is displayed in Italian is the date and the text that is displayed when you mouse over the date. All the menus and other text is still in English. For example the top menu items are still Applications and Places, and if you mouse over these items the text still shows up in English. Also there is no easy way to go back to English. In F14 there is a panel that shows up at the bottom of the login screen that allows me to select a language prior to logging in. This option does not exist in F16. As it stands now I have to go into Applications->Other->Language, enter the root password, then select the language. Why do I need to enter the root password to change the language for my user id?<br>
