I've put a request in to have the availability of a functioning trash can on the desktop. As to if it will happen? Pass. <div><br></div><div>Having just had screams (and lots of them) from changing a computer system from XP to Win 8, you are quite correct... XP users have used it for over a decade. If we can make it less painful for them to adopt lubuntu then I do think it is a worthwhile excersise. No computers will be harmed during the trials :) The ability to take a 'skin' of another OS has been around for a long time. </div>

<br>
My reasons:<br>
<br>
Lubuntu's paradigm is already virtually an xp clone.<br>
Outside of different icons and theme color, there isn't much difference.<br>
<br>
If wanting to totally mimic an XP desktop because those users are picky<br>
an expect certain 'looks' and placement of things then they will expect<br>
a working desktop trash can that you can drag and drop to and empty.<br>
Currently LXDE does have trash but not as expected on the desktop.<br>
<br>
A mac interface on the other hand does have functional differences and<br>
ways of doing things, which would warrant the attention of the script<br>
to help those users. But as for an XP like interface, its my opinion<br>
that how the LXDE interface was born any how, based on XP.<br>
<br>
Menus, task switching, notification, clock and calendar are in the<br>
expect position, windowing functions virtually the same. So in other<br>
words what would really change with XP variant?<br>
<br>
Mac I get it, XP, we already have it.<br>
