How can I get DSL 4.4.4 to look like 3.3?
Meaning, how go I get the icons on the desktop of 3.3 to appear in 4.4.4?
I have the DSL book which contains v.3.3.
I might have overlooked this info on the wiki.

Thx

3.x uses Xtdesk to provide the desktop icons. 4.x uses dfm.
You can copy xtdesk (from /usr/X11R6/bin ??) and /home/dsl/.xtdesktop into your new system, and change /home/dsl/.xinitrc to load xtdesk instead of dfm

Ok.  Is there any way to add icons to your desktop using dfm?  I installed DSL 3.3 from the DSL book for my ten year old cousin.  I'm wondering if I should install 4.4.4?  Thx.

Is there a property to change the double click icon to single click in DSL 4.4.4?  I just got so used to single clicking to open a program but I really like the look of DSL 4.4.4.
