Summary0004988: Desktop Items missings
Description

I recently upgraded kernel to 4.17.0-kali3-amd64 and Kali version 2018.3
It seems desktop items are missing/not showing up, whereas in the Desktop folder, there are multiple desktop entries, which were supposed to be displayed.

Please don't report duplicate bugs, see 0004983

Anyway the summary is it's not a Kali issue. Unfortunately the feature has been removed from nautilus.

Gnome people are working on an extension to replace it but it looks like they have not made a release yet and it's not packaged in Debian/Kali
https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/ShellExtensions/desktop-icons

But you can install it manually, it's available here:
