I'm having issues with icondesk not loading properly. I'm currently running the ChosenOS theme. When I added icondesk, an error message appeared:

"IconDesk:
could not find desktop window"

The theme still works, but the module doesn't. I've tried multiple x,y settings and inserted every sample code that's been provided in the forums. I was wondering if it was conflicting with another module that was installed inthis theme.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

could not find desktop window
that's ur answer :D u don't have a desktop!

u have to load ur desktop module (in this case jdesk) before icondesk as icondesk registers itself as a part of the desktop.

btw, a good practice is to load the desktop module always first ;)

LOL... OK, starting to feel not so smart. I'll remember the tip for next time.

Thanks Egonz
