Look, I understand how by making a stupid command choice I could remove
all the files in my home directory but how do you cause all the
non-hidden files in you home directory to appear on you desktop? On top
of that files in the Desktop directory do not appear on the desktop
(only the Desktop directory itself appears).
I wanted to make the gnome-terminal that is opened by
nautilus-open-terminal to open in my home directory instead of the
Desktop. So I clicked in the Configuration-Editor on:
app->nautilus->preferences->Desktop_is_Home_Directory. That seemed to do
what I wanted but it also caused the Desktop mess described above.
To fix the gnome-terminal you need to go to app->nautilus-open-terminal
and click on: Desktop_opens_home_dir
It is all so obvious in hindsight,
