Probably the best solution would be to not allow the switch to be modified in classic mode but keep it always enabled. (1.26 KB, patch)

Description zhengqiang 2017-07-28 06:52:38 UTC
When using "GNOME Classic", the Icons on Desktop switch makes no difference whether selecting "on" or "off". 
While with "GNOME Shell", it works well.

My system is:

openSUSE-42.2-0 
gnome-shell 3.20.4                           
gnome-tweak-tool  3.20.1 

I don't know if the problem is related to gnome-tweak-tool or gnome-shell-classic directly.

Regards

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and submit a patch.

I think there are two parts to this issue. The first part is requesting that users be able to disable desktop icons in GNOME Classic. See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/695088 and

You could also ask your distro to consider taking a patch like this one (for 3.25.4):
https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-gnome/desktop/unstable/gnome-shell-extensions/debian/patches/dont-require-nautilus-classic.patch?view=markup

The second part is dealing with this in gnome-tweak-tool.

Maybe gnome-tweak-tool should check whether nautilus-classic is listed in the current mode file too and use that to set whether the switch for desktop icons can be turned off.

Other Info
-----------
GNOME Classic currently hard codes a lot of features. See also https://bugzilla.gnome.org/783104
