DESKTOP MANAGEMENT

       The PCMan File Manager can manage your desktop. That includes drawing some  background  on
       it  and  showing  icons  of Desktop folder. To activate the desktop management the pcmanfm
       should be executed with  option  --desktop.   Other  option  that  affects  this  mode  is
       --one-screen.  Change running desktop manager parameters you can by executing pcmanfm with
       option --desktop-pref which opens window with preferences or using command line parameters
       for   options   --set-wallpaper  or  --wallpaper-mode.   Execution  pcmanfm  --desktop-off
       terminates desktop management.

       While pcmanfm manages desktop it displays icons on desktop. Behavior  of  icons  resembles
       folder  view in main window of pcmanfm but icons on desktop can "remember" their position.
       If you have two or more monitors then desktop background and set of icons will be shown on
       each of them. Icons positions will be remembered individually for each of monitors.
