... oh and excuse the horizontal lines in some pictures... i dont know why they exist (but they are not from the zaurus... i cannot see them there. maybe it is because of the screenshot application). and also excuse the jpg low-quality. also the screenshots appear a lot darker than it is on the zaurus itself.

ok... to make the upper taskbar dissapear i got in the xfce settings => tasbbar settings. there i chose the following:
Position: Bottom
Autohide!!!
Size: small height (width doesnt matter)
Tasks: remove all options
Pager: do not show
notification area: dont show system tray
then the taskbar will be behind the panel and so you will not see it.
for the desktop icons you should install rox and all other rox packages wich are in the feed.
in aterm or whatever console type: rox --pinboard=MYPINBOARD (or whatever name you want). then you should see a blank desktop with the folder Home. if you open it, the rox file manager should appear (you should make also some configuration, because there are just icons but you dont know the meaning of the most. but in the rox filer configuration you can choose that in the menus are shown icons and the name under them). you have to do just drag'n'drop from the filer to the desktop and the file/folder/whatever appears on the desktop.
just for informations: it is not the best idea to go to /bin or /usr/bin and drag'n'drop these apps because they all have just an ugly cross or x as an icon. it is though possible to choose another icon for the app but it takes some time to do it with them all. so you can take the apps with the icons which are also shown in matchbox on the desktop... they are all located in: /usr/apps
so if you go there with the rox filer and drag'n'drop the apps you want to your desktop it is the fastest and best looking method (unless you have other icons which you want to use).
and if you want to change the icons: right click on them => App dir 'your_app" => set icon. and as you can see in the window: "drop and icon here" just open the rox filer, look for you icon u want to use and drag'n'drop it in this window... thats all.
i think rox in combination with xfce4 is very useable, fast and easy... and also looks nice on a pda... what should i say, my zaurus looks now like a real desktop device. i think i won't call it pda anymore but mini laptop (what it is now)
EDIT:
i forgot the following:
in xinitrc.xfce4 add the following line:
rox --pinboard=(the name you put in before... i.e. MYPINBOARD)
this makes the pinboard appear after a reboot automatically. but it is important to type in the same name as before else you will get again this blank desktop with the home folder.
