It forced to open Pcmanfm in one specific place on my desktop... the desktop icons were affected and positioned in exactly the same place. Removing it fixed the problem but now Pcmanfm opens in random places... (or either right in the middle of screen or the top left) and has to be repositioned every time. Does anyone have a solution for this? The lack of window positioning in Lubuntu is one of it few weaknesses... constantly repositioning windows. Another one is the lack of an easy way to make shortcuts. A paste-as-link could solve the problem if it can be done in Pcmanfm. Other than this, I love Lubuntu and the multi-tabbed Pcmanfm is very powerful tool. Congratulations to all those who put this together. Thanks.
