I tried and found a fix for this issue because even if some users don't want icons on their desktops, a few icons on it are always useful.
I'm not a fan of truckloads of icons on desktop either. But in my previous remaster I have drive partition icons, dynamically updated as I plug in new flash drives or I unplug them. I can use the icons to mount/unmount and change between R/W and R/O for every individual partition.
This way I work a lot faster.

In Knoppix 7.4.2 this feature doesn't exist anymore. So I brought it back to life and even improved it.
(Maybe I'll even post what I did, if there's any interest for that.)
But seeing my desktop drive icons spread like that made me really mad, so I had to do something about it.

About the Whisker menu, I never used Xfce but you made me curious.
When I remaster 7.4.2 (which is pretty soon) I will install Xfce in it too and give it a try.
But I get the basic idea: sounds pretty cool and I'm tempted to try and implement it on my own, even independently of the taskbar or desktop manager.
