Previously, I was using Ubuntu, but I've been gravitating towards Mint. (I dont *always* use i3, and I like Cinnamon better than Gnome/Unity). The problem I'm having is similar to this: (search "rid nautilus desktop window" on this site: sorry, not enough karma to post links...) when I launch Nemo (instead of nautilus), there is also a desktop window spawned. The proposed fix for the gnome desktop worked for me. I'm wondering, does anyone know what I might do with Cinnamon? I have tried: `gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false` but it did not work. I'm afraid i just do not know nearly enough about Cinnamon's package structure or the commands one can send to it to know what to do.Thu, 19 Dec 2013 02:19:20 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3083/nemo-launches-a-desktop-window-linux-mint-16-cinnamon/Answer by AinSoph for Hello, I have been testing i3 in a VM.
