I REFUSE to go back to KDE (which always used to be my fave DE) UNTIL this RIDICULOUS bug gets fixed. I don't play games, I don't switch resolution and the bug was still there till I installed ubuntu. Now, finally, it's gone. Finally effective debugging. You have been already told that even the infamous win 95 didn't have such annoying bug and you devs spend time beating yourself up with arcane mumbo-jumbo while the FRONT LINE OF YOUR PRODUCT IS FLAWED, dancing icons on the desktop are one of the first things every "lucky" one notices. You really must be out of this world guys, wasting so many hours of your life in order to make the perfect software and getting turned down by the very first grandma using KDE and asking "why the hell don't these icons stay where I put them?". Come back down to Earth, realize that a product that does annoy the user ain't really gonna "konquer" the world.
