Am I the only person on this list that finds it odd that not one of the
posts in this thread has even tried to address the question I posed in
the subject line: why did the Gnome devs decide that there shouldn't be
any icons in the Gnome Shell?

Because that was hashed out a long time ago in the F15 alpha days and on
the Gnome mailing lists. Now, it is what it it is.

I'm using Avant Windows Navigator to make a more Mac-like look and feel
for Gnome 3 -- and I've never been one to put files on my desktop.
