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.
