Hi Edscott,

I've just downloaded xffm. It implements a-la MS icons, so now I definitely 
can't see how anyone could still use KDE or Gnome instead of Xfce :-)
Personally I was hoping for Unix-like icons (minimized applications).  I guess 
that's another story...

Just a suggestion. I think it would be nice if xffm could be launched directly 
from the Xfce panel without having to previously set the environment variable 
DISABLE_DESKTOP in the .profile/login when you don't want your desktop to be 
redrawn. This could be done just by providing a commandline option such as 
Nautilus' --no-desktop. Maybe I'm missing something... in that case please 
excuse me.

Anyway keep on the good work!

Roger
