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.
