I would be grateful for guidance on how to do that. I am a complete
beginner in the field of accessibility, with zero experience as I see.

When pcmanfm is started with a --desktop switch it should provide the desktop icons.

On an installed system I can see it's specified inside the file

~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart

but it is not running when lxde is showing, so it needs further investigation.

Well, you can also press all+F2 to get a Run dialog, and also have a
terminal focused when going graphical. To get that just type as regular
user, for instance:
cp /usr/share/applications/lxterminal.desktop ~/.config/autostart

Well I have tried to place modified pcmanfm.desktop into ~/.config/autostart and it has not been started for me. Perhaps these two things might contribute to each other. I will be looking again into this tomorrow. I just wanted you to know my progress.

Greetings

Peter
