[Pkg-lxde-maintainers] Bug#605760: pcmanfm: it does start, just behaves wrong

[Jonathan Lane]

Package: pcmanfm
Version: 0.9.8-1
Followup-For: Bug #605760

I ran into this bug after installing lxde tonight, and figured out
what's actually happening.  I saw the behavior you described, then ran
"killall pcmanfm".  As expected, this killed the icon/wallpaper
management.  Then, from an instance of lxterminal, I invoked "pcmanfm"
directly.  It started normally, but didn't restart the desktop
management.  Somehow, when pcmanfm is started from lxpanel via the panel
shortcut or menu item, it (re)starts the desktop management and exits
the actual file manager.  It starts normally when invoked from a shell.

Inspecting the .desktop file (/usr/share/applications/pcmanfm.desktop) I
see that the actual command invoked is "pcmanfm %U", which presumably
starts the desktop-management.  Maybe this needs to be moved into the
autostart configuration, and the .desktop entry should just contain
"pcmanfm"?
