I work around this problem (crudely) with a script and an autostart entry: In ~/.config/autostart, place a file "fixicons.desktop" containing (something like):
[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=FixIcons Comment=Workaround bug 1335492 Exec=~/bin/fixicons OnlyShowIn=XFCE; StartupNotify=false Terminal=false Hidden=false And create the file "fixicons" in ~/bin, containing: #!/bin/bash # YMMV! mkdir ~/iconTemp cp ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/*.rc ~/iconTemp sleep 20 cp ~/iconTemp/*.rc ~/.config/xfce4/desktop # xfdesktop --restart - This doesn't work. Just press F5 with the desktop in focus. Press F5 with the desktop in focus, and your icons should return to their regularly scheduled places. This works on startup / login, but doesn't work for situations where a full-screen application crashes and causes a logout. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335492 Title: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1335492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
