SUMMARY
When editing the "Desktop And Wallpaper" settings, and you go to the "Filter"
screen, there is the option to hide matching files and a file name pattern to
use. The default is "*" (i.e. match all) whilst the default mode is "Show all"
which disables the other options.
When set to "Show Matching" and keeping the pattern as the default, no icons
appear, whilst when set to "Hide Matching" with the default pattern, no icons
appear.
Indeed when trying other configurations like "hide matching" and a pattern of
"*~" (to hide temporary files) does not hide _any_ files what-so-ever. I have
also tried other combinations of patterns like ".*~", ".*~$", ".*\~$" and all
have produced the same result.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right-click the desktop and select "Desktop and Wallpaper" (or
2. On the wallpaper tab, set "Layout:" to "Folder View" (if you already didn't
have it)
3. On the location tab set "Show:" to "Desktop folder" and make sure you have a
variety of files in ~/Desktop
4. Click apply. The files should appear on the desktop
5. Go to the "Filter" tab.
6. Change "Files:" to "Show matching" and "File name pattern:" to "*" and click
apply.
7. Change "Files:" to "Hide matching" and "File name pattern:" to "*" and click
apply.
8. Change "Files:" to "Show matching" and "File name pattern:" to ".*" and
click apply.
9. Change "Files:" to "Hide matching" and "File name pattern:" to ".*" and
click apply.
