Hey Eberhard,

it's funny how easy it is to associate something that one personally
finds annoying with their favourite hated operating system. Maybe I
should pretend to hate all existing desktop environments for the sole
fact that they ship a "desktop" with "icons" which I never found
useful for my purposes in any way.
And still, some people love desktops, and many of them love that they
can use it like a folder window, with double clicking.

On a more serious note,
please use http://bugzilla.xfce.org/ to search for existing bug reports
and file a feature request if not yet done.

ciao,
