Re: [Lxde-list] Docking lxlauncher or pcmanfm desktop (trick)

[Mario B. <mb...@ma...>]

Hi Pablo,

thanks you so much for this little how to. I think we need much more
of those little tricks.

In order for people to find the, it would be great to have them in the
forum and in the wiki. I rephrased your email a bit into a neutral
style and put it up in the wiki.

Maybe you would like to add more details or maybe you have more little
tricks, then please add them in the forum and wiki as well.

The wikipage is here:
http://wiki.lxde.org/en/How_to_get_Folders%2C_Files_and_Icon_Launchers_on_the_Desktop

If you have a blog writing about LXDE, be sure to also let us know, please.

All the best.

Ciao Mario
