Pcmanfm should be able to show devices (already showed in the left pane) on the desktop, like thunar or nautilus.
an option to active or disactive this would be great.

I'm afraid the mixed view mode (i.e. show some sidebar content together
with ~/Desktop folder content) cannot be implemented in libfm for now. But
not-mixed mode (showing only 'Places' sidebar content) is easier to
implement.

Exactly the same should be done about other standard folders: Trash
(visible always), Home (visible always), Documents (if not empty),
Downloads (if not empty), etc.
I think it should be in 'Advanced' tab of desktop preferences dialog and it
should be area of checkboxes for each of those, i.e. something like:
Show on desktop:
system devices
x plugged devices
x trash folder
x home directory shortcut
not-empty documents folder
x not-empty downloads folder
not-empty pictures folder
not-empty videos folder
not-empty music folder
