problem persists here for xfdesktop 4.12.3 (OpenSuSE Tubleweed) auditing (summary) shows the following after logon:
lots of reads from /home/thomas/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen0-2544x971.rc and then suddenly a create icons.screen0-2544x971.rc.new.16834.tmp a rename/move icons.screen0-2544x971.rc.new.16834.tmp to icons.screen0-2544x971.rc.new a rename/move icons.screen0-2544x971.rc.new to icons.screen0-2544x971.rc everything triggered/done by /usr/bin/xfdesktop (PID=16834) inode IDs before and after logon differ and the original contents of icons.screen0-2544x971.rc are lost meanwhile I have already 2 "solutions" 1. (the older one, from/for XFCE 4.10 (see Bug 9192)) - at every shutdown/startup of the machine I create a backup and - there is a desktop shortcut to restore the last of those backups 2. - systemd service looking for greeter process => removes all write permissions for .config/xfce4/desktop/ folder - autostart script which 60 seconds after logon adds write permission for .config/xfce4/desktop/ folder - obsoletes backup/restore For me THE question is/remains, why at all has the positions file to be written to at logon/startup? As it happens this seems not to be necessary, as my "solution" 2 shows. -- 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
