I did as you said but it has made no difference to my desktop even after

my ~/Desktop directory. On F7 there was a utility, under preferences if
I remember correctly, that I could run to set this but I cannot find
anything on my F8 install.

Hmm.. very strange. The utility you had installed was very likely
gtweakui (I actually wrote it..). It will, however, do exactly the same
thing... might be worth trying though as it will definitely hit the
right key.

Just fyi, I'm on gnome 2.21 and that key does still select the right
preference.
