You can switch to rox pinboard. Just install rox.dsl.info(apps) than to run rox as pinboard you can use run program or terminal or add to xinitrc. I run mine in .xinitrc.->
fi
#dillo /usr/share/doc/dsl/getting_started.html &>/dev/null &
rox -o -p =Pinboard <-this line add
xset +fp /opt/fonts/artwiz-aleczapka &>/dev/null &
xset s 300 300 &>/dev/null &
torsmo 2>/dev/null &

Don't forget to turn off xtdesk(right click>desktop>icontool>click no desktop icons and ok) To make launchers just drag the exec to the desktop than right click and select icon and drag and drop a icon to the box in the middle. There's other ways to but play with it a bit.

You can use Icon Tool and set it to Double Click.

You can also use the icontool and set cols to zero.
This disables the automatic layout of icons.
Then together with double click you can drag and drop to set the layout (position) of the icons.
