However, I don't know how to update those in real-time (make them appear immediately; it requires a restart of xfce). There is a 'reload' option for xfdesktop, but that doesn't appear to work. That might make perfect sense though; to be honest, I don't know which component (xfwm ?) manages desktop icons.
Correction: click somewhere on the desktop with the mouse and then press F5 to refresh it - that will make the newly copied icons show up.

Hehe... you should come join us in ##slackware and #slackman on freenode IRC - there's another Alabama guy in #slackman (from up around Florence - maybe your neck of the woods)...
