Description of problem: When I download stuff to the desktop, it doesn't show up until I hit Ctrl+R to refresh it. I wish I wouldn't have to do that. And when new stuff does show up, it doesn't automatically arrange itself in the proper order. Newly mounted disks and created folders pop up in seemingly random locations, sometimes overlapping other icons. So then I have to right click on the desktop and select Clean Up by Name. Again, I wish that was automatic. Only the desktop seems to have this problem. Nautilus browser windows behave exactly as they should. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Help - About gives me Nautilus 2.8.1. How reproducible: Often. Steps to Reproduce: Download something with Firefox. Insert a CD or have a program create a folder (I just ripped a CD with Sound Juicer). Actual results: Stuff you download doesn't show up until you hit Ctrl+R. New icons pop up in seemingly random locations, sometimes even overlapping old ones. A right click and a Clean Up by Name sorts everything nicely. Expected results: Desktop refresh and sort should happen automatically. I don't want to keep hitting Ctrl+R and right-clicking to manually sort things. Nautilus browser windows don't seem to have this problem, only the desktop does. Additional info: I'm using the "Home as Desktop" GNOME hack so the contents of my home directory are the contents of my desktop, and I've done away with the Desktop directory. This problem occurred before I did that, so I don't think it has any bearing.
This is a gamin bug, and the icon positioning is already reported in bugzilla too. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 133665 ***
