E17 is maturing, and the TODO that needs to be completed for its release is shrinking. Desktop icons are now working in E17 cvs, and you can use drag and drop between the file manager and the desktop. "Icons on the desktop. A work in progress. you will need ~/Desktop to exist with stuff in it. i suggest copying some of the favorites files over (home.desktop etc.)." There's even a screenshot.

There are actually several window managers that do not have desktop icons. Fluxbox, OpenBox, DWM...
I currently use DWM and for "minimalist" users, this is just perfect.

I'm pretty sure that e-devel is a public list, so no pricacy harmed there. His email is another issue, but I don't think spambots will implement OCR anytime soon. Maybe he is related to the Mirc-developer?
Anyway, back on track, its allways nice to see a new feature in E17. Is there any desktop left without icons these days? KDE, Gnome, XFCE, E17. They all have it.
