I don't suppose anyone knows of a program that can put icons on the desktop pls? I'm using fluxbox, and although I've seen nautilus working with it, I'm not a fan. It's a bit too...I dunno...clunky? I haven't been able to google anything (which I'm ashamed at ::grin::) and I've been racking my brain, but I don't think I've ever heard of anything apart from nautilus that will do it (well, apart from kde, but I don't fancy hacking the code out ::grin::)
cheers,

There is always the pre-cursor to Nautilus, GMC. A Gnome widget wrapper to the excellent Midnight Commander file manipulator. That'll put icons on your desktop without the bloat of Nautilus.

Some other options:
- ROX (Riscos On X) http://rox.sf.net/ - FancyLauncher http://user.it.uu.se/~adavid/utils/ - Appbar program launcher, hiding on my web site
That'll put icons on your desktop without the bloat of Nautilus.
Speaking of bloat, unbloat your emails and http://remember.to/edit_messages

Or alternatively, go to the fluxbox website (the WM I'm using) and click on the link 'want icons on your desktop?' I'll go write a haiku and throw myself on my sword, eh? ROX looks quite nice though...may have to give that a little test...
cheers for the pointers all,

OK, i'll stop posting to the list until I've learnt to email correctly.
As well as GDM (http://www.gnome.org/mc/) there is DFM (Deskop File Manager http://www.kaisersite.de/dfm/ ) which appears to be more light-weight than GDM. Doesn't look quite as pretty but restricts its library dependancies to GTK rather than Gnome/GTK so less shared libraries in memory.
Just did a bit of online research and it appears that the Gnome front-end to Midnight Commander has been dropped in recent versions due to the move to Nauilus. The Debian apt sources still contain GMC if you run that distro, otherwise you'll have to dig up an old version of the sources.
