Take the 2-minute tour ×  Is there a replacement for the Fences
application for Ubuntu 11.10?  Fences lets you organize the
icons and application shortcuts on the desktop by creating
containers for the desktop icons. It is different from
Folderview. Folderview shows the contents of the folder in a
container but Fences lets you organize the desktop icons into a
container.  share|improve this question add comment  2 Answers
