I had asked a related question here (
http://askubuntu.com/questions/195407/how-to-see-the-full-file-name-on-the-lubuntu-desktop).
While I can live without the feature, I just want to make sure that it
doesn't exist and that's why I don't have it. I just want to rule out the
possibility that it is there somewhere, but we need to change some setting
somewhere to get it to kick in.
