I want to remove the standard desktop icons from Gnome.
I have installed gconf-editor and I have searched for instructions and found this:
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/how-remove-icons-desktop
However, those instructions did not work.
If anyone could help me remove the desktop icons, that would be great.

Open "System Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and choose "Desktop".

This worked. Thanks.
Any idea how to permanently remove the "Install Trisquel" icon for my Live USB version of Trisquel? If I delete it, the icon manages to remake itself when I boot it back up.

No idea, sorry.

Do any other changes stick? You need persistence for that.

You could try making a file ~/Desktop/.hidden and include the name of the installer in that file, if it is a file on the desktop.

Try running dconf-editor, and look for /org/nautilus/desktop/computer-icon-visible .
