Missing desktop icons with nautilus >= 3.28
Nautilus 3.28 dropped support for desktop icons.
Nautilus 3.30 is going to be shipped in Debian and possibly in other distros, so gnome-flashback would need a replacement for people who still prefer desktop icons.
A temporary solution is provided by nemo, the cinnamon file manager, which has a nemo-desktop binary. This can be used as shown in https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-flashback-list/2018-September/msg00000.html
An official extensions also exists for gnome-shell, but I haven't looked at it.
Do you think it would be possible to share code with nautilus or with gnome-shell?
Thanks, Antonio
