It's strange: I copied my whole ~/.gconf directory and put it into another
partition, with the same Linux system: Debian Etch, and the panel and the Home
and Trash icons were set just the same, but the Terminal icon that I have on
my desktop is not put onto the other desktop.
So, the problem of moving the desktop to a new machine seems more difficult
than it was supposed to be...
