This seems to be some sort of race condition that happens when things are slow.

Comment 2 Alexander Larsson 2002-07-15 04:13:50 EDT

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.

Comment 3 Pavel 2002-07-15 04:16:40 EDT

Never seen it in local session, but from remote terminal it happens always.

Comment 4 Alexander Larsson 2002-07-15 08:42:16 EDT

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.

Comment 5 Alan Cox 2002-07-15 09:33:06 EDT

Telsa saw this on a local session (slow machine, VESA server)

Comment 6 Fred New 2002-07-31 03:02:01 EDT

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.

Comment 7 Luke 2002-07-31 13:10:24 EDT

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.

Comment 8 Alexander Larsson 2002-08-20 04:34:16 EDT

This is fixed in  2.0.4-2
