[SOLVED] Cinnamon Desktop Selection

Hi, I'm running Archlinux with the cinnamon desktop, does anyone know how to achieve the desktop dragging? (Dragging a selection box on the desktop)
I know it's possible as I've seen Manjaro do it, and Manjaro is based off of Archlinux. I'm going to assume it is a package, or maybe a config file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It always makes me laugh when people complain and rage over any distro's management ideal, when this is a linux community, and you could always make your own distro and experience the pains yourself.

Re: [SOLVED] Cinnamon Desktop Selection

You need to check (in gnome-tweak-tool) "Have file manager handle the desktop"

Re: [SOLVED] Cinnamon Desktop Selection

Thank you, I have used openbox for about four years now, so I never played with gnome that much, but the recent xorg update broke openbox's logout, so I switched to cinnamon. Overall happy with it, now that I have control over my desktop. Thanks again!
