Description William Di Luigi 2016-12-04 20:47:27 UTC 
I always had the "show icons" in the gnome tweak tool (and I checked on dconfeditor, the org.gnome.desktop.background.show-desktop-icons is set to true).

I just noticed however that the icons are missing and I can't use the cursor to "select" when I'm on the desktop (just like if the "show icons" setting was set on false).
Comment 1 Florian Müllner 2016-12-07 14:09:42 UTC 
The show-desktop-icons setting is implemented by nautilus, not gnome-shell. In any case, my guess is that you are using the wayland session, where desktop icons are currently(?) unsupported:

Comment 2 William Di Luigi 2016-12-07 15:59:05 UTC 
Yes I am using the wayland session, so that's most probably the reason.

Anyway, is it not supported yet or it will never be supported?
