Hi-lighting several desktop icons

Tux Fan · 2008-10-09

Using the desktop switcher found on here I am now using the standard looking XFCE desktop. The icons however seem locked, snapped to a grid and can only be manipulated individually. If you open a file manager and click and drag from the white space bottom left to top right, you get a blue transparent box and all your icons are selected. How can I get this same feature on the desktop?
