I have two quick questions no amount of googling has answered for me.
If I untick the 'manage wallpaper and icons' box when I restart LXDE - naturally - I have no wallpaper. So...
1/ What other method of setting wallpaper exists I could use in conjunction with idesk?
2/ Where/how can I start idesk to supply my desktop icons?
These two things will get around the inability to rearrange icons, which I dislike. I am familiar with idesk and fluxbox, but cannot find out the proper syntax and command to get idesk going with LXDE, nor which file to edit.
Thanks.

Re: LXDE + idesk
You could try feh to set the wallpaper
You can start anything you like by putting it in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart or by putting a .desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart/

Re: LXDE + idesk
Sorted. I installed feh (already had idesk installed and running in fluxbox)
then edited following lines in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart:
@lxde-settings-daemon
@xscreensaver -no-splash
@lxpanel --profile LXDE
@feh
@idesk
#@pcmanfm -d - note, commented out...
On restarting LXDE typed $ feh --bg-scale /usr/share/lxde/wallpapers/lxde_blue.jpg
and presto. Wallpaper plus icons
