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?
Kate
I am using PCLOS with Trinity I am not seeing this. My icons stay where I put them. Try creating a new account and see if it it happens to that one as well.

I've had the same problem. The desktop seems to want to force unnecessarily wide spacing between icons on startup only. I don't know why or how to fix it, but if you move them far enough apart to satisfy it, it will stop playing with them.

Maybe a permission problem, check if all files in ~/.trinity are +rw and owned by the user.

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.
Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS and Trinity 14.0.6 [DEVELOPMENT] using the Preliminary Stable Builds repository.
Aside: Is there a "proper way" to get the Trinity version/level info out of the system? I usually go into konqueror -> Help -> About Trinity But, if there is a more definitive way....
Happy New Year to All!! Jonesy

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?

hmmmm.... Considering what's in there, why would that file's timestamp have been updated to the time I powered on and rebooted this A.M.?

Which time stamps? Linux file systems generally record *three* time stamps for each file:
atime, ctime and mtime
https://www.unix.com/tips-and-tutorials/20526-mtime-ctime-atime.html
You may be looking at the access time.

Plain ol' ls -ol
|jonesy@nix5:~/.trinity/share/apps/kdesktop$ ls -ol IconPositions |-rw------- 1 jonesy 4303 Jan 1 07:16 IconPositions
... which, as I've always understood it, is the mtime.
Here is the atime:
|$ ls -lu IconPositions |-rw------- 1 jonesy jonesy 4303 Jan 1 09:02 IconPositions
Ahhh, here is the ctime:
|$ ls -lc IconPositions |-rw------- 1 jonesy jonesy 4303 Jan 1 07:16 IconPositions
Maybe the file is recreated afresh from another source each time Trinity is started?
When I right-click on the desktop and [Refresh Desktop] the atime does not change. Would've thought....

Second this. I also can't copy/paste from the Help pop-ups, which is annoying ;)

$ tde-config --version Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.0.6 [DEVELOPMENT] tde-config: 1.0
With tde-config you can also retrieve more TDE-specific config stuff.
