1. yup :) use icondesk.dll
2. litestep is the program, the idea, the community, the shell
indiestep is a build of litestep, which you should use ;)
3. ls has it's own hotkeys and of course they will mess up if a program has the same ones. you can edit your ls hotkeys in hotkeys.rc
4. because in ls you can define the maximize-area using desktop modules like desktop.dll or jdesk.dll. read the docs for further information.
5. i guess you're using winxp with the new login screen. that's a win's bug with all alternative shells. if you don't want to wait then switch to classical logon or if you don't want to switch then press ctrl+alt+del when you have clicked your user-account and esc after that (to kill the task manager).
btw, stylexp skins your windows, ls doesn't do that. ls is a shell and changes the looks and functionality of your desktop. if you want to skin your windows, stylexp is still needed.
