I have installed Thunar instead of Nautlius. And now I have nothing on my desktop after reboot. How to solve this problem? I have checked gnome-tweak-tool and "have file manager handle Destop" is ON. Please help. But they exist in Desktop folder

Thunar doesn't handle the desktop.

You might get this script to work to do what you want, but you might be better of re-installing nautilus and using thunar as the file manager.
