RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Upon successful login all user icons are stacked on top of each other in the x0,y0 position. This affects local accounts as well as network accounts. The user is unable to use the right click to open terminal and use basic nautilus features until any window is opened. After which icons are placed randomly on the desktop and the right click options are available.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nautilus-3.14.3-12.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Reproducible on machines running nautilus-3.14.3-16.el7.x86_64 with patch 13

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login through gdm to GNOME Classic
2. Icons are stacked on top of each other

Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:
We were unable to reproduce the bug on a clean 7.3 install. This seems to be localized to our environment and whatever changes we apply. We rebuilt the nautilus package without patch 13 (icons-on-primary.patch) and the problem was resolved. Could it be possible a requires were missed in the backporting of patches and nautilus is now unable to correctly calculate display size?

This was seemingly caused by some change in storing icon positions when rebasing from 3.14 to 3.22 in RHEL 7.4 and possibly relates to Bug 1473610. However, we have now RHEL 7.8 with nautilus 3.26 and thus I think that it is pretty late to do anything with it, so I am going to close this. Rebase from 3.22 to 3.26 is not seemingly affected by this as per my testing.
