From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020709 Description of problem: When running gnome environment from remote terminal, the icons (home directory, trash, start here) are placed on top of each other in upper eft corner of the desktop. When running session from local display icons positioned normally. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in from remote system (e.g running "X -query IP" from remote computer using gnome session Actual Results: Icons placed on top of each other Expected Results: Place icons normally Additional info: Right-click on the desktop and selecting "Clean up by name" places the icons properly, but on next login they are still overlapped.
This seems to be some sort of race condition that happens when things are slow.
I've seen this when starting locally too. It doesn't happen often, but it happens. Seems like it looses metadata somehow. Or maybe it doesn't relayout when it finishes reading the metadata.
Never seen it in local session, but from remote terminal it happens always.
I got it just now, and i tried to go to ~/.gnome-desktop and turn on manual layout in a window. The window got the right icon placement, so it seems the metadata is not actually lost, just not applied to the desktop.
Telsa saw this on a local session (slow machine, VESA server)
I'm seeing this a lot on my Pentium 75 test machine with an ATI Mach64 VT (264VT) PCI adapter under Limbo 2. The "Clean Up by Name" is often remembered in the next session, but it is also forgotten a lot, too.
I had this too on a P133 with S3 virge video. Local install. I was able to eventually get them to be instacked. Initially I moved them and they would go right back up to upper left corner.
This is fixed in 2.0.4-2
