Installed go-home-applet on ubuntu 10.04 amd64, but, go-home-applet does not show the desktop on login

Asked by Mahesh RS

I have been using UNR/UNE/UME/whatever for some time on my netbook and love it.

I especially like the UNR desktop, so I recently installed the go-home-applet on my ubuntu 10.04 desktop (2-core 64-bit) machine. The installation went through fine. Then I added the go-home-applet in the upper panel, so now I can see the ubuntu-human-circle logo of the go-home-applet in my upper panel. BUT, when I login, I don't see the "desktop" just the way I see it in my UNR install. Why is that?

Immediately after logging in, I see is a plain, blank screen with top and bottom panels. Only when I click the go-home-applet button in the top panel does the entire "go home" desktop (similar to UNR's desktop) come up with "favorites", "files and folders", etc.

Is there anyway I can get my Ubuntu 10.04 desktop to look like my UNR desktop with only the "go-home-applet" and the "netbook-launcher"?

Are there any configs for the go-home-applet? Where? (I don't see any in /etc. I found the "schema" in gconf editor, but, did not find any values I could tamper with to configure the go-home-applet.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I installed "ubuntu-netbook-remix" and removed "maximus". Things are looking good now. :) Thanks and sorry for posting the question earlier.
