GNOME3: How to enable desktop icons and right click menu

This is the third time I am looking this up, so I am making a quick howto note here.

So in order to enable desktop icons on a newly installed gnome3 desktop perform the following steps:

  1. Open the dconf-editor program.
  2. Locate the page following path org → gnome → desktop → background
  3. Check the Show desktop icons option.
