In my account I did Menu: Preferences: Desktop Preferences: Desktop Icons: Show Documents and Trash. Then I observed in ~/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/desktop-items-0.conf, in the sole section named [*], the lines: show_documents=1 show_trash=1 I want to make those settings the global default for new users. Searching for the default sources from which desktop-items-0.conf is created, I found these candidates in the Installed Files of the lubuntu-default-settings package: /etc/xdg/lubuntu/libfm/libfm.conf /etc/xdg/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf /usr/share/lubuntu/pcmanfm/main.lubuntu I tried each of those, adding the lines to the [desktop] section, but none of those tests yielded the desired results. I'm sure /etc/skel would be a way to do this, but as I've been learning about global configurations I've been using the as-designed mechanisms whenever possible. <a href="http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXDE:PCManFM_build_and_setup_guide">http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXDE:PCManFM_build_and_setup_guide</a> says: <blockquote>You can customize the default configuration of libfm and pcmanfm. The default config files are installed to /etc/xdg/libfm and /etc/xdg/pcmanfm. You may do your customization to /etc/xdg/libfm/libfm.conf and /etc/xdg/pcmanfm/pcmanfm.conf. If you don't know what options are supported, use ~/.config/pcmanfm/pcmanfm.conf as a template. Take into consideration that those files are used only if user's config file is missing. </blockquote> Does anyone know how to do this? </body> </html>
