OK, I have GNOME installed on my system and I don't have an 
"gconf-editor", nor had I ever heard of it before.  

So I have to agree with Lee... the Nautilus "don't show desktop 
icons" thing is an essentially undocumented feature, as much so 
if not more than any Windows registry setting that's not exposed 
through an app's user interface, and using the word "simply" 
isn't appropriate.

I hope this isn't the design philosophy for GNOME apps 
nowadays.... "put minimal configurability into the app and let 
the power users install the equivalent of regedit."
