Ah, interesting thought then: Maybe it doesn't build desktop-items-0.conf from any files installed by pcmanfm or lubuntu-default-settings, and the default settings are used (not copied or otherwise propagated into the user profile) if desktop-items-0.conf does not exist.

For testing, maybe you can remove the user's config file...

    Hi, all.

    In my account I did Menu: Preferences: Desktop Preferences:
    Desktop Icons: Show Documents and Trash.

    Then I observed in ~/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/desktop-items-0.conf,
    in the sole section named [*], the lines:

    show_documents=1
    show_trash=1

    I want to make those settings the global default for new users.

    Searching for the default sources from which desktop-items-0.conf
    is created, I found these candidates in the Installed Files of the
    lubuntu-default-settings package:

    /etc/xdg/lubuntu/libfm/libfm.conf
    /etc/xdg/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
    /usr/share/lubuntu/pcmanfm/main.lubuntu

    I tried each of those, adding the lines to the [desktop] section,
    but none of those tests yielded the desired results.

    I'm sure /etc/skel would be a way to do this, but as I've been
    learning about global configurations I've been using the
    as-designed mechanisms whenever possible.

    http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXDE:PCManFM_build_and_setup_guide says:

        You can customize the default configuration of libfm and
        pcmanfm. The default config files are installed to
        /etc/xdg/libfm and /etc/xdg/pcmanfm. You may do your
        customization to /etc/xdg/libfm/libfm.conf and
        /etc/xdg/pcmanfm/pcmanfm.conf. If you don't know what options
        are supported, use ~/.config/pcmanfm/pcmanfm.conf as a
        template. Take into consideration that those files are used
        only if user's config file is missing.

    Does anyone know how to do this?
