GNOME 2.6, how do I prevent mounted volumes from..

Visceral

After adding an FTP site to "computer" in spatial naut, it also appears on the desktop. I only want it appears next to cd-rom, filesystem and network when I click on "computer" and not there AND the desktop.

Suggestions?

This may sound a little "no duh", and if that's the case I apologise :wink:

. If you delete it from the desktop, does it go away in the "computer "?

Hehe, it's not a dumb question. Yes, it's the first thing I did. You can unmount it from the desktop but that also unmounts it from "Computer". You cannot delete it, only unmount it. Now, oddly enough they can each have different custom icons and changing the look of one does nothing to the other..but it you unmount it in one place it goes in the other. I just don't want or need copies of everything thing I mount from this point on also appearing on my desktop.

Well, I'm thinking there may be an option to show mounted volumes on the desktop..but I don't know where that is.

Ugh, it gets weirder or I'm not understanding how this works. I've tried going into the Network folder and creating a link to the above mentioned ftp there, my thinking being that link would then appear when I click into the network folder. No dice. Not only does it still create a desktop link, it also creates the other link under computer and NOT network. I'm at a loss.

Hmm. I'm hoping to get confirmation from others that this is in fact NOT the correct behavior and that they also are experiencing it.

I am still on Gnome 2.4, but it does this for me too. Anytime I mount a network filesystem, it adds a icon on the desktop. I can just click on it and hit delete and it will go away though.

Is this the same thing you are talking about? Or something different?

I checked http://bugzilla.gnome.org for a bug, and I found bug #138930 which sounds like a temporary solution your original problem. Seems there are some patches in cvs...

Cool, then it's *not* just me. I wonder if they know about the creating volumes under network displays them under Computer behaviour?

Hmm, it makes sense in that context, but without that knowledge it seems off. No matter I suppose, once they patch the option to turn off volumes displayed on the desktop, it will be moot.
