2.1.1
The Icons
By default, the desktop features three symbols: your personal folder, the start di-
alog for the configuration of the desktop, and the trash can. If you double-click
your personal folder, Nautilus starts and displays your home directory. More in-
formation about the use of Nautilus is available in File Management with Nautilus
on page 49. All files deleted with Nautilus are sent to the trash can.

formation about the use of Nautilus is available in File Management with Nautilus
on page 49. All files deleted with Nautilus are sent to the trash can.
Right-clicking an icon displays a menu offering file operations, like copying, cut-
ting, 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 ‘Use cus-
tom icon’. The ‘Emblems’ tab offers the possibility to add graphical descriptive
symbols to the icon. The ‘Permissions’ tab provides access to the access, read,
and write permission settings for this file for the user, the group, or others. The
‘Notes’ tab offers the management of comments. The menu for the trash can addi-
tionally features the ‘Empty Trashcan’ option. This deletes its contents.

To remove an icon from the desktop, simply move it into the trash can. However,
be careful with this option — if you throw folder icons or file icons into the trash
can, the actual data is deleted. If the icons only represent links to a file or to a di-
rectory, only the links are deleted.
