Xfce! A few simple questions for a super-noob


Hey, I just did a server install of Ubuntu, got into the sources.list and uncommented stuff, installed XUbuntu-desktop just fine. I get in, and it works! A very nice interface, I must say. Now, i'm curious how you get icons. In Gnome, there was an icon on the desktop for the CDROM, and for Home. How do I put those on the Xfce desktop? Thanks for the help!

I don't think in XFCE, you can put icons on the desktop.

The panel works nice though. Try dragging and dropping the icon from the panel, onto the desktop. It "MAY" work.

Unfortunately, XFCE does not allow icons on the desktop.

Look into rox-filer (I think). This can be used to put icons on the XFCE desktop

Zen Walk screen shots, show desktop icons.
I also wonder on a different distribution how to get them on the desktop XFCE.
