a screenshot of my desktop
I'm seeing something like this too although on my desktop it's only the computer and home direcory icons that appear in the wrong place. They also appear always at the same place after login even after I fix their position and reboot. There is a fix in gnome cvs that might be related to this: 2006-03-03 Alexander Larsson <alexl> * libnautilus-private/nautilus-icon-canvas-item.[ch]: measure text in nautilus_icon_canvas_item_get_text_rectangle to avoid icons jumping around I haven't verified atm. Isn't this the same bug as this one #182495 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 182495 *** Yes, I've been posting to that one and it's the exact same behaviour -- no matter how much I move or realign my icons they will arrange themselves in their own little special way on re-login. Firewing1 I'm still seeing this in current Rawhide. Where exactly is the icon position stored on the gnome desktop? I'd like to find out if it's the icon position data on disk that is the problem or the interpretation of that data. I believe in .gnome, .gnome2, .nautilus or .metacity... All hidden folders, you'll need ls -Al to see them. Check in those, the positions are in XML files... I remember looking at them myself at one time... (Those folders are hidden, that's why there's a "." infront of them, and they're in the ~ directory) Firewing1 The only file I found was in .nautilus and that one seemed to be stale (it was from 2005 and the contents don't reflect my current desktop). I also checked the gconf settings but I cannot find where the icon positions are hidden. I found mine (current ones, too!) in .nautilus/metafiles: [user@DellLin metafiles]$ ls computer:%2F%2F%2F.xml file:%2F%2F%2Fboot%2Fdata%2Fuser%2FDesktop%2Fbg.xml file:%2F%2F%2Fboot%2Fdata%2Fuser%2FDesktop%2FCustom%2520RPM%2520packages.xml file:%2F%2F%2Fboot%2Fdata%2Fuser%2FDesktop%2FNext%2520CD.xml file:%2F%2F%2Fboot%2Fdata%2Fuser%2FDesktop.xml file:%2F%2F%2Fboot%2Fdata%2Fuser%2F.Trash.xml file:%2F%2F%2Fboot%2Fdata.xml file:%2F%2F%2Fmedia%2FUTILS%2Ffc5iso.xml file:%2F%2F%2Fmedia.xml file:%2F%2F%2Fvar%2Fwww%2Fhtml%2Fecohosting.xml file:%2F%2F%2Fvar%2Fwww%2Fhtml%2Fphp-bin.xml file:%2F%2F%2Fvar%2Fwww%2Fhtml.xml trash:.xml x-nautilus-desktop:%2F%2F%2F.xml Firewing1 |
