Hi, all.

In my account I did Menu: Preferences: Desktop Preferences: Desktop Icons: Show Documents and Trash.

Then I observed in ~/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/desktop-items-0.conf, in the sole section named [*], the lines:

show_documents=1
show_trash=1

I want to make those settings the global default for new users.

Searching for the default sources from which desktop-items-0.conf is created, I found these candidates in the Installed Files of the lubuntu-default-settings package:

/etc/xdg/lubuntu/libfm/libfm.conf
/etc/xdg/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
/usr/share/lubuntu/pcmanfm/main.lubuntu

I tried each of those, adding the lines to the [desktop] section, but none of those tests yielded the desired results.

I'm sure /etc/skel would be a way to do this, but as I've been learning about global configurations I've been using the as-designed mechanisms whenever possible.

http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXDE:PCManFM_build_and_setup_guide says:

   You can customize the default configuration of libfm and pcmanfm.
   The default config files are installed to /etc/xdg/libfm and
   /etc/xdg/pcmanfm. You may do your customization to
   /etc/xdg/libfm/libfm.conf and /etc/xdg/pcmanfm/pcmanfm.conf. If you
   don't know what options are supported, use
   ~/.config/pcmanfm/pcmanfm.conf as a template. Take into
   consideration that those files are used only if user's config file
   is missing.

Does anyone know how to do this?
