Hi, I am just coming to GNOME from KDE where I used the folder view desktop widget to display the contents of ~ directory (/home/<user>) rather than the "Desktop" directory itself, as that's where all the stuff I wanted to access from the desktop was. Is there any way I can do this in GNOME with the actual desktop (as opposed to a widget)?
Thanks.

Actually, its:
gconf-editor
then go to:
apps
nautilus
preferences
and check the box for desktop_is_home_dir

Thanks guys :D I actually did it by deleting my Desktop folder but I guess the gconf way is the safer way.
