xfce icon question

[Alex]

Hi Boris,

afaik xfdesktop does not have such a feature.

If you are interested in software development, you could check how it is
implemented for thunar(or exo?), and try the same for xfdesktop.

IMO it would be a nice feature. Patches would be very welcome !

Cheers,
Alex
