Description prower 2004-05-17 22:21:33 UTC

The current version of Gnome 2.6 does not provide the option to remove volume icons from the desktop (i.e. CD-ROM's that are auto-mounted, etc). Currently, the only solution is to turn off desktops entirely. Fortunately, a patch was released on bugzilla.gnome.org (see URL) that adds an option for just this purpose. As a frequent GNOME user, I and many others would appreciate it if those responsible for the GNOME packages could include this patch, which has been tested by the GNOME developers and committed.

I assume that if this were finished with the bug would be closed, but I thought I'd ask anyway :> Has any progress been made in including this?
