I am also struggling with these, but have no solutions to offer as yet.
I've created a Knoppix 6.4.3 USB drive from the CD and set up persistent storage.
When I change the desktop background, or adjust PCManFM settings (e.g. preventing partitions automatically mounting), they are lost when I log out of LXDE (which then starts a new LXDE session) or reboot Knoppix. The contents of ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf seem to get reset.
I've tried deleting and recreating the persistent storage (knoppix-data.img) and deleting the ~/.config/pcmanfm directory so that it gets recreated.
Anyone else see this, know what's going on, or know of a solution?
Thank you

Thanks for confirming it's not just me. Here's a workaround I've discovered:
Configure PCManFM settings and the desktop as required.
Copy the settings to "LXDE.conf" in the "pcmanfm" directory:
$ cp ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE.conf
Recursively remove knoppix's write permission from the pcmanfm directory structure:
$ chmod -R u-w ~/.config/pcmanfm
Obviously subsequent changes now won't persist.
I boot into Knoppix from a USB drive to back up my OS system partition. If PCManFM auto-mounts all partitions, this could affect the integrity of my backups.
Thanks.
I've added 'umount -r /media/sda3' to my rc.local file.
My main ntsf file then initially shows as unmounted unless OS icon is
single-clicked on PCManFM. Pretty slim protection.
Peculiarly, and fortunately, other ntsf files on
sda1 and sda2 are not automatically mounted by default
as is sda3 here.
This is a bad choice of default in PCManFM and a critical
error somewhere in the init structure of K6.4.3 IMHO.
I'd like it to be difficult for knoppix, the user,
to access my ntsf files.
I note several other places where changed default choices do not
survive re-boot in K6.4.3 that were no such nuisance in K6.2.1.
These include the cube background jpg, firewall settings, and
alsamixer settings.
When I had a similar problem in 6.2.1, kl522 offered
the following suggestion, which I now understand:
Edit /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
such that the @pcmanfm line reads @pcmanfm --desktop
That is, delete the --profile LXDE.
I think this will empower the PCManFM gui's to control
desktop preferences as one would expect.
Cheers, and belated thanks to kl522.

This worked like a charm for me
I opened the autostart file in LeafPad but when I try to save the edited file back into LXDE I get the message 'can't open file to write'. Anyone help me out?
... you must be root to change this file. Start with 'Run' and type 'gksu leafpad'.

The problem which initially defined this thread
has been corrected in Knoppix 6.4.4.
