Replace xfdesktop4 by pcmanfm --desktop

Hey !
Xfdesktop/Thunar is good, but I really love pcmanfm. To switch I tried this :

xfconf-query -c sxfce4-session -p /sessions/Failsdafe/Client4_Command

xfdesktop

xfconf-query -c sxfce4-session -p /sessions/Failsdafe/Client4_Command -as "pcmanfm --desktop"

And it doesn't work.

Any idea ?

EDIT : found out that

xfconf-query -c sxfce4-session -p /sessions/Failsdafe/Client4_Command -as "pcmanfm"

does launch pcmanfm. Guess xfconf doesn't like spaces, hey ?

EDIT2 : the less worst workaround I found was to make a script /usr/local/bin/pcmanfmdesktop with

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/pcmanfm --desktop

and

xfconf-query -c sxfce4-session -p /sessions/Failsdafe/Client4_Command -as "pcmanfmdesktop"

Any idea how to do this in a less workaround way ?
