Hi, Some time ago I posted a bug report at the dedicated Bugzilla. I have tried to make it as precise as possible and provide steps to reproduce.
Here is the bug report: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3470614&group_id=156956&atid=801864 I can see that many bug reports about PCManFM have been reported: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=156956&atid=801864 and at PCLinuxOS, several members have reported problems about the stability of icons, which can disappear after unmounting a peripheral, or even the background flushing between the latest setup and a former one: Bug : bureau sans icônes après un démontage de media - http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,103646.0.html The worse about this pcmanfm 0.9.10 is that I have noticed the crashes of the file manager in 3 different distributions, which are PCLinuxOS, Archlinux, and Sabayon. At Archlinux, on the chan fr a buddy has told me it was normal that if the work was finished, and one window / one tab only was opened the file manager would quit once the peripheral unmounted. So I tried the following experiences, but it is impossible to get it to keep still : when unmount a device, be it an internal partition, or a USB stick. I have tried to have 2 windows or more opened, 2 windows + 3 tabs opened in the one window where I unmounted internal partitions, and I have tried having several partitions mounted and unmount them one by one by clicking on the arrow of the icon representing the internal partition. I got crash after crash : all windows crashing at same time and all tabs. I re opened pcmanfm, and one by one unmounted the other peripherals, then I had to open the file manager again and again until the several internal partitions where all unmounted. I think this bug is very severe and makes PCManFM unusable, as well as for the instability of icons and background, as PCManFM is mainly used as a desktop manager. It makes the distributions using LXDE and the ones I provide with Openbox + PCManFM + a few light apps in a stage where they are barely usable. I present my apology for posting here, but once I have been told about another place where to post, at the #lxde chan, but the mail came back to me undelivered. So I don't see another solution than posting here because I don't see any answer brought to the bug report I posted which makes it more than 2 months now. It is also a bit "selfish" because I love using PCManFM, and providing distros built on Openbox mainly, and I would like again to be able to provide well working versions of PCLinuxOS Openbox. (Small and large). And the French speaking community gets new volunteers now to remaster PCLinuxOS LXDE to French, and we all would like to provide the best versions possible. So please, consider having a look at these crashes and bugs, and try to fix them for a next release that might be considered stable, PCManFM being the main bone in the LXDE project.
