i have never run enlightenment with desktop icons because i perfer a clean desktop when in X, so i couldnt tell you how to add them. but if you are running a gnome panel in enlightenment you can add shortcuts to the panel for most used apps. or you can add them to the User Application List within the root menu. to do this open up: vi ~username/.enlightenment/user_apps.menu any app you use most often can be added, and the syntax is pretty self explanitory. also you can use any editor, vi was just an example. hope this helps. slr On Friday 14 June 2002 08:49 am, Bryce C. wrote: > Alright, I'm sort of a newbie at X Windows stuff but I know > Enlightenment is a window manager, just as KDE etc, but how do do I get > icons on my desktop.
