Removing default desktop icons in LXDE
Terminator3000:
Ive installed Microcore with the LXDE desktop which is running very nicely.
However Id like to remove some of the default icons (Exit,Appbrowser,Control panel etc) Presently they keep coming back if I just delete them so there must be some kind of config file somewhere.
Tips welcome !

Replace the /usr/local/bin/lxde symlink with the file, then comment out the relevant if...fi section like this:
--- Quote ---...
...
if [ ! -f ~/.config/Desktop/terminal.desktop ]; then
cp /usr/local/share/applications/terminal.desktop ~/Desktop
fi
if [ ! -f ~/.config/Desktop/appbrowser.desktop ]; then
cp /usr/local/share/applications/appbrowser.desktop ~/Desktop
fi
if [ ! -f ~/.config/Desktop/cpanel.desktop ]; then
cp /usr/local/share/applications/cpanel.desktop ~/Desktop
fi
#if [ ! -f ~/.config/Desktop/exit.desktop ]; then
# cp /usr/local/share/applications/exit.desktop ~/Desktop
#fi
...

This will inhibit restore of selected default desktop icons, in the above example, Exit.
Next delete /home/tc/Desktop/......desktop and add /usr/local/bin/lxde to your backup.
Please note, you can not disable MyDocuments icon on this way.

You can use DEL instead of # :)

I have always gone with the default us on uk keyboards on TC (as well as in some other distros).
Not really an issue beyond from learning where what is.
Perhaps looking at keymaps on the web (and possibly print them out) might help.
Here # is where kb shows the Pound sign (shift+3).
