After re-login (icons not aligned)
Hello,
This is odd... I am seeing the same results except I'm using Fedora Core 5
Test 3.
(Please change dist. field: it's still occuring.)
It's very annoying, as my regular icons are OK. It's just the network and
media (CD-ROMs and my USB external HD w/ 4 partitions) that will move WAY
up/down, (The whole screen) or occasinally if I'm lucky they won't move at all
but rather swap positions with eachother.
I've also tried removing the Nautilus metadata files, so it regenerates the
XML files that define their positition, but still a no-go.

OK, I just realized you meant to click FC5T3 and not FC3T3 -- That nautilus version and your screenshot (new fedora logo) gives it away.. Anyways, I've also noticed that when you hide a panel, the icons move accordingly. Could this be the problem as I'm using 2 panels? Firewing1 compustew: oops, you are right, clicked the wrong version when filing. Hey, sorry to annoy again but devel is over -- The current release if Fedora Core 5 Test 3... I just updated to Gnome 2.14, and the same occurs but worse. The icons go ALL over the place now, not just rearrange themselves. Firewing1 I havet his problem to. I've uploaded two screenshots. The first one is before I log out, I've placed all icons like I like them: http://files.zoeloelip.be/ok.png After I logout and login again I have this state: http://files.zoeloelip.be/not_ok.png (Only the Home dir icon moves, the other documents I removed) Yes -- For me all icons are OK (meaning they won't change positions) except the network / removable storage ones, which are completely off the grid. They usually move from the very top right of my desktop, where I place them, to the bottom right or even the left. Firewing1 *** Bug 183939 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 186836 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** i have a problem like this. Icons get rearranged after first login and home folder moves down under the trash icon. I manually place home folder to its proper position but after next login insists to move down again. My home icon moves around... FC Bordeaux Same here [XXX@localhost ~]$ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 #1 Tue Mar 28 03:38:34 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [XXX@localhost ~]$ nautilus --version Gnome nautilus 2.14.0 Workaround: Remove default home icon (for example with TweakUI) and manually add an new launcher for your home-dir. *** Bug 187446 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Where are the icon positions stored? ~/.metacity/metafiles Firewing1 ~/.metacity/metafiles doesn't exist on my machine. The same problem here but I made some experiments and finally solved this annoying thing temporarily. When I made larger space between the icons in question the middle one just stopped moving after new logins. this bug has been fixed in nautilus-2.14.1, please release that version of nautilus as an update to Fedora Core 5 nautilus-2.14.1-1.fc5.1 from updates-testing fixes this bug I wish I had read that (re: nautilus-2.14.1-1.fc5.1) before I got frustrated and just set .nautilus/metafiles/x-nautilus-desktop:%2F%2F%2F.xml immutable. ;-) sudo chattr +i .nautilus/metafiles/x-nautilus-desktop\:%2F%2F%2F.xml |
