In previous versions of Fedora, the Cups-PDF package has saved the PDFs on the Desktop. Now that Gnome Shell defaults to not showing icons for files in the Desktop folder, do we need to point Cups-PDF at another folder? I personally find it confusing to have Cups-PDF saving files to the Desktop folder, but not having those items displayed on the desktop. -- Jared Smith Fedora Project Leader
