I support the idea.
If xdg-tools can fully support the standards, it does not matter whether it
knows lxde-qt or not.
PCManFM and PCManFM-Qt both uses gio provided by glib which implements the
xdg standards.
So, calling pcmanfm <file_path> has nearly the same effects as calling
gvfs-open <file_path>
The only things pcmanfm does for you are opening folders in pcmanfm and
open URLs by the specified browsers.
If these are fully supported by xdg-tools, there's no need to call pcmanfm.
Name of the desktop is another issue.
I agree that we need a new environment variable since the Qt desktop is
different from the old gtk+ one.
Mixing the Qt and gtk+ components is not so elegant.
Maybe we can use LXQt or LXDEQt for now. The name is only used internally
and is not visible to the user.
For the new merged project, a new name is also wanted, too.
Though previously we said that we can rename later, but I'm not against the
idea of do the renaming now if someone can come up with a cool name. Do you
have good proposals?
Personally I think LDE is also an acceptable option.
The alphabet 'L' is next to 'K'. :-)
