[lubuntu-users] 23.10's file manager will be...?

[Chris Guiver]

Some of the LXQt desktop you see (eg. wallpaper on your display) is
handled by pcmanfm-qt, thus pcmanfm-qt is required for LXQt to operate
as intended.  (Pcmanfm was the same with LXDE)

Adding another file-manager to the system seems counter-intuitive to
me, as Lubuntu aims being 'light'.  Why have two installed? especially
given some of pcmanfm will already be operating when the user is
logged into a LXQt session.

To see, use `ps -elf |grep pcmanfm-qt` where you'll possibly see a
version running as `pcmanfm-qt --desktop --profile=lxqt` or something
equivalent, even if you don't have a file-manager window open.
