Hello,
I am new to the list, so I apologize in advance if this has been asked recently. I attempted to search the archives and found some related info, but it was 3 or 4 years old and not of much help. If I should have looked elsewhere before asking the list, I'd appreciate a gentle correction.
I am running KDE 3.3.0 on a Gentoo system. I like to keep certain icons in specific locations on my desktop (e.g., Floppy/CD-ROM in upper left, home directory and others in upper right, trash in lower right, etc). I fastidiously drag my icons into place and all is well until I log out. When I log out and log back in, I find that some or all of my icons have moved. Generally most are organized on the left side as I'd expect an auto-position to happen. However, it's not perfect and it varies a little bit. For example, there is currently a pattern something like:
### ### ####### ### ### ###
(ie, most seem to be autoplaced, but there is a weird strip that are clearly not)
Sometimes some of the icons stay in the right place while others get reorganized, etc. It seems like it might be somewhat worse if I reboot in between logins, but I really haven't carefully tested that.
Is this normal? Am I crazy? Does my description even make sense? I can live with this, but I really expect my icons to hold their positions across logins / reboots.
Any assistance/advice would be most appreciated. Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
joey
