the fact is that I am only PHP / ACTIONSCRIPT guy - so I don't know well about GTK but should be easy to create another application called DESKTOP MANAGER - based on FILEMANAGER which would have separate settings for desktop items (icons / panels / etc) - that mean the desktop could be easy to manage without affecting some settings on the filemanager - ( icon size for example )
