I have Gnome installed and am using icewm-gnome. So I tried putting gmc& in .Xclients. Then I remembered that I'm now using .xsession for that kind of thing; so I put it in .xsession. Then I just had to drag and drop to place some icons. After that I had to find out where they are stored, because ~/Desktop seems to be just for KDE. I found them in ~/.gnome-desktop/ So now I have icons again - well at least folder icons at this point.

That put the icons that are in ~/Desktop on my desktop. I no longer use xfce and don't have kde installed either, but I'm pretty sure that is what I did.

AFAIK, you can't place icons on the desktop, only in the control panel bar thingy. You can customize the mouse generated menu (left mouse button click) to include whatever you want in it. = Lonni J.
