Fedora 7: Remove desktop icons/launchers

I am trying out the great new Fedora 7 now, with the Gnome desktop.

I wanted to remove the desktop icons / launchers that were on the desktop (Computer, adder1972's home og Trash).

It turned out I had to install "gconf-editor" (not installed by default apparently). As root I ran:

yum install gconf-editor

Then, in Configuration Editor under System Tools in Applications, I chose "apps" "nautilus" and "desktop". Then I could just remove the icons / launchers that I wanted to remove.

[gconf-editor is a part of Gnome, and works in i.e. Ubuntu as well]
