I have Debian Wheezy with GNOME (2.30.2) installed on my computer and my problem is that my desktop does not work anymore.
I can't right click on the desktop (to change wallpaper, etc…). Moreover, I don't see my files & folders on the desktop, however by using nautilus I can see that the Desktop folder still exists (and all his content).
I don't know where to find the mistake I've certainly done. The steps I took:
apt-get install nautilus-share
apt-get update/upgrade

Elements of Gnome 3 have begun to make their way into Wheezy. gnome-shell does not show files on the desktop and uses a new settings application called
gnome-control-center
to manage backgrounds instead of a right-click menu.You could also use
gnome-tweak-tool
to restore the old functionality of the desktop (by having the file manager, nautilus, manage it instead of gnome-shell).
