A useful tip, specially for localization of non-English systems is to apt-get install xdg-user-dirs-gtk
This package installs those"Music","Public","Documents" etc. folders to the home folder, with localized names.
Only it's run at login time by Xsession (to check if the user has changed locale etc.) and antiX uses ~/.xinitrc
I don't have antiX here so I can't test, but the command /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60xdg-user-dirs-update runs at login time is

Code: Select all

if [ -x /usr/bin/xdg-user-dirs-update ]; then
    /usr/bin/xdg-user-dirs-update
fi
I don't know if it can be put literally that way to ~/.xinitrc (I suspect yes).

Regarding the deleted tip about the"Applications" entry, I see lxmenu-data is already an indirect dependency of pcmanfm. Maybe it's working fine now in antiX, sorry for that.
Still there's the second tip about xdg-user-dirs.

And as an extra for the Applications entry in pcmanfm, installing menu-xdg will show all Debian menu files under"Other". Not pretty (because of missing or low res. icons) but some apps that don't show in antiX's regular menu will be there.
