Figure 1.1 GNOME Desktop
By default, the desktop features two key icons: your personal Home folder, and a trash
can for deleted items. Other icons representing devices on your computer, such as CD
drives, might also be present on the desktop. If you double-click your Home folder, the
Nautilus file manager starts and displays the contents of your home directory. For more
information about using Nautilus, see Section 1.5, "Managing Folders and Files with
Nautilus" (page 17).
Right-clicking an icon displays a menu offering file operations, like copying, cutting,
or renaming. Selecting Properties from the menu displays a configuration dialog. The
title of an icon as well as the icon itself can be changed with Select Custom Icon. The
Emblems tab lets you add graphical descriptive symbols to the icon. The Permissions
tab lets you set access permissions for the selected files. The Notes tab lets you manage
comments. The menu for the trash can additionally features the Empty Trash option,
which deletes its contents.
