My Desktop icons seem to be deciding for themselves where
they
should appear. I have tried several times to keep the icons
arranged the way I like - "By Type - Directories First".
The arrangement lasts through maybe three logins, then I
find
the icons rearranged again.
If it matters, I'm using Trinity 3.5.12 with Debian Squeeze.
I have checked the file
~/.trinity/share/apps/kdesktop/IconPositions
and nothing obvious is amiss, though I can't be certain I'd
recognize a problem there. I'd be grateful for a clue.
Thanks
John

I have noticed this as well. Likely it is a result of a temporary
shortage of free space on the desktop during the startup procedure (i.e.
an internal problem within kdesktop). If I have time I will look into the
issue.

Hi John,
I have checked the file
~/.trinity/share/apps/kdesktop/IconPositions
and nothing obvious is amiss, though I can't be certain I'd
recognize a problem there. I'd be grateful for a clue.
if you start with a
right-click on an empty desktop "Desktop
arrange/setting" (?) you'll find under "Behavior->File Symbols"
"arrage
symbols automatically". I have disabled that.

Hi John,
"By Type - Directories First".
I
don't have links to directories on my desktop, only start buttons for
programs. Maybe your kind of sorting is treated dirrerent.

The relevant config file seems to be ~/.trinity/share/config/kdesktoprc
No icon position issues noticed here (I run squeeze) although I don't
normally use "sort directories first"
