Hi people
I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this.
User PCLOS, it happens on both 32 and 64 bit versions.
After arranging the desktop icons (all kinds), they rearrange
themselves each time I load the TDE. They just scatter everywhere.
I have tried, arranging to grid, locking in place. No setting seems to
work. When I lock the icons in place, they still rearrange and then
lock.
Any ideas?
I sometimes have a "floater" problem.
My icons are more or less arranged in several columns on the left side
of my screen. Every now and then an icon will float up to fill in an
empty slot above it -- even with "Lock In Place" set.
I unlock, pull it back down, re-lock, and it stays put for a week or so.
That sounds about right. I have my icons grouped around the edges of the
desktop; they tend to get pushed upwards and inwards. I'll have to do some
testing to see if it also happens on my laptop (rebuilt out of git sources only
a few days ago)--I think I saw it there while I was wrestling with the display
manager problem, but I'm so used to it at this point that I just roll my eyes and
stuff the icons back into their places without the problem really registering.
The governing file seems to be .trinity/share/apps/kdesktop/IconPositions .
Maybe editing that and then locking it so that it can't be written, assuming
that doesn't cause TDE to fail to start?
