1. Mount manually at startup by editing fstab file. I have given a tutorial in Open Source

2. Run this command
Code: 
gedit /home/jit159/.gconf/apps/nautilus/desktop/%gconf.xml

set the value="true" for the desired entries which u want to be visible on desktop, for others value="false"
save the file

Now logout and login again.

3. do same for trash, as stated above

4. seek someone else help, i may screw ur distro :D

  • the easier method for 2 and 3 is to install "Configuration Editor" from Add/Remove :D
  • Then its entry will be in Applications > System Tools > Configuration Editor
  • Just open this program and expand the tree as
apps > nautilus > desktop
  • On right pane there will be options for te desktop icons

for problem 1, refer link given below :
Automount by editing fstab using UUID in Ubuntu 7.10

In Linux also there is app called gconf-editor similar to windows registry, not exactly the same thing but yeah quite similar.

1) Press ALT+F2 & type
Code: 
gconf-editor
2) Navigate to
Code: 
/apps/nautilus/desktop
3) in the right plane, check the following
home_icon_visible
trash_icon_visible

4) see the changes, if no change & try logging in & out. or just press ALT+CTRL+BACKSPACE to restart X
