because there is no trash.  the files are gone...completely gone!  GONE!!  MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

I think you can set a "safe delete" option in mc, but I've never done it so i don't know how it works....probably sends everything to a directory in $HOME/.mc or something.

There are at least two options here:

1) Open up /home/dsl/.xtdesktop/Firefox.lnk in a text editor, such as beaver, or browse to .xtdesktop in emelfm (you'll need to click the "H" button or press Ctrl+h to show hidden files), select Firefox.lnk, and press the "edit button".  Where it says "Command: /usr/local/bin/firefox", change that to the path where your new firefox binary is.

2) Do the same as above, but change "/usr/local/bin/firefox" to just "firefox".  Then open up a terminal and type
"sudo ln -s -f /path/to/new/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox"
This should create a new symlink, in your path, to replace the old one.

Open an xterminal window and type:
beaver /home/.xtdesktop/firefox.lnk

Then type these lines into beaver:

              Code Sample

table Icon
Type: Program
Caption: Firefox
Command: 'command for new firefox'
Icon: .xtdesktop/'a gif file of your choice'
X: 'desired x location on screen'
Y: 'desired y location on screen'
end

(Also, make sure the lines in the .lnk file do not end with whitespace (space or tab) or your icon will not show.)

Save the file and exit beaver.
Then go to the fluxbox start menu and go to
Desktop -> No icons
and then
Desktop -> Icons only

I am not sure what the command would be. Also, I am not sure if you deleted the .gif file of the old firefox. If not you can use that for the icon. Hope this helps.
