I am using GNOME 3.32.1 on Ubuntu 19.04. I cannot drag desktop icons to Nautilus folders. I cannot double click desktop icons to open them in their default applications. I cannot (automatically) organize desktop icons. In short, GNOME desktop icons are non-functional other than to represent files in the desktop folder.
Is there a painless way to add basic integration (drag and drop, click to launch, etc.) of GNOME 3.3X desktop icons with Nautilus?

Remove the current desktop icons with:
sudo apt remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons
Note: removing this package will probably remove the ubuntu-desktop meta-package which may be reinstalled during an update bringing the old icons back. If that ever happens just rerun the above command.
Then install desktop folder by clicking here (clicking will download the .deb file). Reboot and you should have a more functional desktop.
