There's an option to use your homespace directory as the desktop, rather
than the ~/Desktop directory.  You want to re-enable the usual use of
that Desktop directory.

I have a "gTweakUI - Nautilus" thing in my preferences that lets me
directly affect these things.  It was an extra that I installed, so I
didn't have to trawl through the tangled mess of the gconf-editor

You could try:  yum install gtweakui-nautilus

Alternatively run gconf-editor (yum install it if you don't have it),
and work your way into its apps/nautilus/preferences, and untick the
desktop_is_home_dir key.

Though, if you've wiped out your gconf/gnome files, I don't know whether
you'd have to create that key, yourself.  The first gTweakUI thing might
be easier.
