What's the deal with .gnome-desktop?
I installed potato from scratch on a friends machine, and they had nifty
cdrom and floppy shortcuts that I did not have. So I, since I had their
harddrive in my machine, tried to copy -r their .gnome-desktop. After
it started filling up about a gig, I stopped it, and had to become root
and do a rm -r -f .gnome-desktop. Why does this directory have an
infinitly deep structure? It seems recursive to me. Ho can I copy his
.gnome-desktop to my home directory? OR, better yet, how does it work,
so I can just build one from scratch, with a home directory, a floppy
and two cd-rom icons on my desktop?
