Hi folks,

I created a little patch which creates a new menuitem in the new menu called 
Shortcut. 
When its called it will execute 
lxshortcut -i <filename_you_entered_for_the_new_desktop.file>
I originally created this patch for ZevenOS-Neptune and the debian version of 
pcmanfm (which seems to be an older version). 
I hope this patch works also for the ubuntu package and the newer version and 
is useful until a 'real' integration for desktop creation is done in pcmanfm / 
libfm.
