Slight problem - I am running xfce4.0.5. Sorry, should have mentioned 
that in my first post.

When I call up the .xfce4/xffm/xffmrc.xml file, this is what I see:


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xffm>
   <CONFIG_VERSION>0.6</CONFIG_VERSION>
   <preferences AUTOSCROLL="1073741824" DRAG_DO_COPY="1048576" 
SHOW_DOT="0" FILETYPE_SUBS="268435456" IMAGE_PREVIEW="33554432" 
ENABLE_MONITOR="0" ENABLE_AUTO_T="0" HIDE_WASTE_B="0" RSH_X_SSH="0" 
RSYNC_X_SCP="0" SHOW_MM="32" SHOW_TB1="64" SHOW_TB2="128" SHOW_F="0" 
SHOW_TITLES="0" SHOW_SIZE="0" SHOW_DATE="0" SHOW_UID="0" SHOW_GID="0" 
SHOW_MODE="0"/>
   <options icon_size="2" theme="gnome"/>
   <geometry width="695" height="409" hpane="1"/>
</xffm>

It would appear that somewhere here there must be a way to disallow 
desktop icons, but which would serve that purpose?

Cheers
