Another suggestion!
Any chance of swapping out icondesk and replacing it with xlabel to display the icons on the desktop?.
There seems to be some limitations with icondesk, eg you can't drag icons around!, another weird one, is html links, their icon is that of IE, even though IE is not assosiacted with them, and when browsing the desktop through explorer they come up as firefox looking links, and when using xlabel for the desktop, they come up correctly as firefox looking links too.
I'm not sure if it's possible, but the funcionality I am looking for, is being able to drag stuff from the desktop, and hold it over things in the taskbar, that app then becomes active and you can drag it into it. I'm a big drag and drop fan :)
