I'm posting here because I haven't had an answer on kde-linux or
suse-kde. When I log in as a normal user, the desktop icons are always
moved around. I put them back, but when I log out and back in, they
always return to the same places, sort of scattered about the desktop.
How can I fix this? SuSE 8.0, KDE3.


That's not the way it happens for me. I can't uncheck the option in Control Center>Look & Feel>Desktop to "Align Icons Vertically On Desktop." Every time I do so it reverts back. Then every time I make any change on the desktop like changing wallpapers, all the icons align on the left side of the screen. On the other hand, logging out and back in is no problem, like it is for you.

Actually something like that is happening as well... somebody suggested
that I should uncheck that, and I can't, just like you describe. But
my icons are not aligned on the left! I am desperate for a solution,
and am seriously considering switching to Gnome over this issue. For
me it's a total show-stopper, after using KDE for four years.
