Changing Default Desktop Icons

[adesign new]

hi

i had the same problem.

1. be sure that xfdesktop is compiled with thunar
2. go to Desktop Settings -> Behavior -> Desktop Icons. select the entry
File/launcher icons
3. create a folder in your home director  Desktop

now you can create a shortcut in that folder. it will be visible on the
desktop, or create a launcher file that looks as follows

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/firefox
Icon=/usr/share/icons/rodent/48x48/web-browser.png
StartupNotify=true
Type=Application
Name=firefox

note, i found that xfdesktop does not always update the desktop when
something changes in the Desktop folder. i had to reload it.

regards
benny
