Description of problem: After an update, the trash can moved off the screen and refused to come back ever since. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.12.1-1 How reproducible: Always, for here. But may be tough for anyone else. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unknown Actual results: At login, the trash can is at the border of the screen. Expected results: Trash can completely visible. Additional info: I tried to log out with "Save Current Setup" checked, it does not help. The damn can will return into the half-hidden location on next login. This definitely happened after an update. I never touched the thing. Then one day I ran "yum update", logged out, logged in, and voila.
I experiemnted a little with this, and it looks as if trash can snaps to grid or something. No matter where I put it on the screen, it moves to the right to a certain position. If I say "keep aligned" from right-click menu, all objects align where trash can is. Other icons stick where I put them. So, we have two problems here. First, the can is different from all other objects, and the second, it snaps to grid in such a way that it's partially off-screen (at 1024x768).
Actually all other objects snap to grid now too. nautilus-2.21.6-1.fc9.x86_64
Is this still a problem for you?
I don't care, I gave up on it. BTW, the behaviour of sticking is very odd these days. Trash can stick to a position, but only to an extent. Move more and it snaps to grid. It's amusing but I stopped caring after a while.
Ok, closing this bug then.
