Hello
I place my shortcuts on the Desktop, but when I login for the next time, all icons are misplaced. How can I save my session, so all icons remain in the position I prefer ?

Copy all the icons (right-click on each) and copy them firstly to your home directory to back them up; and then copy them into the /home/Desktop directory. After this look on the systray, bottom righthand side and you will see (most likely, unless with you have already messed with it) a green ball with a lower case "i" in it. This is the new SuSEwatch thingie introduced in SuSE v8.2. Right click on it and QUIT it. Doing so will wipe off the desktop the icons it originally created but because you have copied them to /home/Desktop they are not lost. After this you the icons will behave as they did in v8.1 et alia. (There is a bug in this SuSEwatch thingie which is causing the problem with the icons.)
BTW, when you copy the icons into the /home/Desktop directory you will end up with 2 copies of them on your desktop until you quit/delete the SuSEwatch button on the systray after which you will have a single copy to play with. -- Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. Pablo Picasso
