Correct, this nailed it - only symlinks that point to inodes on another filesystem are affected (desktop position is lost).
I've just confirmed it by creating a symbolic link on the desktop to one of directories from my $(HOME). The position is correctly kept after logging out and logging back in. A regression, maybe? -- Gnome lost icons position on the desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401446 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
