Change Gnome Desktop Icons

So you use gnome and want to add or remove the default desktop icons. You want to add or remove the Desktop, home folder or trash Icon, or you don't want the mounted volume icon to appear on your desktop and hamper its beauty. Changing them is very easy.

Hit ALT+F2
Type gconf-editor

Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop/



There you will find the following options:

computer_icon_visible
home_icon_visible
network_icon_visible
trash_icon_visible
volumes_visible

Toggle them according to your choice.
The last one is the option for showing the mounted volume icons on desktop.
