It seems adding desktop icons are a pain in Fedora. Can someone please tell me how I can place the Terminal icon on the desktop ? I have downloaded the gnome-tweak-tool and enabled icons on Desktop.

Also is there an application that I can use to do this ? Rather than editing the files in ~/local ?

    It would have been better to include which desktop environment you're trying this with. Are you using traditional GNOME instead of GNOME Shell?

Assuming you've logged out & back in after enabling desktop icons in the tweak tool; using the gnome file browser, go to:

/usr/share/applications

Search for, or find the file called 'terminal' in this directory, and drag it to the desktop.
