Public bug reported: I am using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. I am unsure of which package the problem belongs to.
The problem I'm having is that of overlapping desktop icons. Suppose I mount a partition(say 32GB filesystem of the screenshot) of my hard disk(by clicking on Places -> partition_name), it gets mounted and a windows is displayed by nautilus as well as a desktop icon is displayed(say on the top left corner of the desktop). Now, if I unmount the above mounted partition(the 32GB filesystem by right clicking the icon and clicking on unmount) and mount another partition(say the Songs, Videos and Wallpapers of the screenshot) of my hard disk, the icon is displayed in the same place: the top left corner of the desktop. The problem arises when both the partitions that I have just mounted need to be mounted at the same time: the desktop icons of the two partitions super-impose. I have attached a screenshot showing what happens when both the partitions are mounted at the same time. I know this can be solved by either dragging the icons to a desired position or even to right click and clean up by name. But, when newer icons are displayed on the desktop: say when a file is saved on the desktop or when some file is moved to the desktop, they manage to find an empty spot to be displayed. Couldn't something similar be done when mounting hard drives: displaying them in an empty space on the desktop? I checked out the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/40872 but it didn't quite match. In the bug mentioned above, the desktop icons just overlap partially. In this, the two icons are completely super-imposed. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Super-imposed desktop icons of mounted partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486168 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
