I had an issue with my capslock working backwards ( when I press it in

desktop, and nothing happens when I right-click on the desktop. What
do I do? There are 3 different .gnome folders under my user, and I
don't want to just start renaming them...
I am running Lenny, updated earlier today..  When I logged in under
another user, using gnome, the icons were there.

well, it was either the reboot, or renaming .dmrc in my HOME folder. All
of my desktop icons are back..

I renamed .dmrc and the new one created is 26 bytes, the old one is 24

$ dir .dmrc
-rw------- 1 me me 26 2006-07-04 22:35 .dmrc

$ cat .dmrc
[Desktop]
Session=default
$

What's "dm"?  Desktop Manager?

bytes. the only difference I can see in those 2 files is the new one has
an extra empty line at the top.
I hate rebooting... "your /dev/sda6 has not been checked in 70 days,
forcing a check now"...
