First off, I'd just like to thank the people who created LiteStep for freeing me from Explorer. Great job, hope it continues. I switched over a little over a week ago and haven't looked back yet. Learning things rather quickly thanks to great documentation. Again, thanks guys.

Now onto my questions/problems.

1) Has any one else experienced LiteStep crashes during theme changes while Shellwm is running? Seems to happen everytime for me.

2) I've noticed a problem on some themes that have the desktop shown. Things that I've long before deleted from the desktop folder show up there as black boxes. If I click on them or something, it looks for the file that's obviously not there. I'm pretty sure it must be some sort of xDesktop config, but I haven't found it yet. Anyone have any ideas?

For #2, if the theme you're running has a command, run this: !xDesktopCreate update ".desktop"
Otherwise, look for an rc file in the theme's config folder with entries that start with *xdesktopitem xdi... Clear all of those lines, and recycle Litestep. The icon list will be rebuilt (I'm guessing the theme uses xdesktopautocreate since it's including your personal icons).

I set up the hotspot that toggles xdesktop to also run that bang each time. Makes it easy to keep things current.
