I've been using Antix since this morning, and I have to say that I really love it! But I can't figure out how to set"traditional" desktop icons: if i set PCMan as the desktop manager, I can see icons and add them. But when i reboot, desktop is managed by PCMan only after I've opened a folder. How can I fix this? I've already tried to edit .xinitrc adding"pcmanfm &" before"exec icewm-session".

Sorry for my english, I hope you understand me anyway.

You need to edit the .icewm/startup file.

antiX Control Centre->Desktop->Edit icewm settings->startup
add this line
pcmanfm -d &

save->logout->login to iconed desktop __{{emoticon}}__

You might also want to comment out the nitrogen lines if you plan on using pcmanfm.

Copy and paste from /usr/share/applications to /home/username/desktop.
