Add option to show Computer, Home Directory, Mounts, Network and Trash icons

There are GConf settings allowing you to show Computer, Home Directory, Mounts, Network and Trash icons on your desktop. However, there is no graphical utility in the GNOME project that allows you to toggle these options. Suggested is to add options to one of the capplets that add this functionality. This bug was originally reported by ihendley on Launchpad in Ubuntu at <https://launchpad.net/bugs/387542>.
Sorry, these settings are nothing we want to expose in the official preferences.
