How to make Show Documents/Trash the global Desktop default for pcmanfm?

[John Hupp]

Ah, interesting thought then: Maybe it doesn't build 
desktop-items-0.conf from any files installed by pcmanfm or 
lubuntu-default-settings, and the default settings are used (not copied 
or otherwise propagated into the user profile) if desktop-items-0.conf 
does not exist.
