I'm another who has the problem of my icons not staying put. No matter where I place them, after a reboot or logoff and re-login, They are all shifted, basically, to the left by KDE. I had this problem with SuSE 8.1 and continue to have it with SuSE 8.2. I suspect the problem is more to do with KDE and the version. I'm using version 3.1.1.

After each reboot the icons on my kde desktop are jumbled. Why does linux not memorize the positions of the icons?
This seems to be some sort of bug with this version of KDE, or with 8.2 - previous versions remembered where the icons were.
This is a major pain in the neck.

This has been talked about on suse-kde, and I believe on this list as well. This is from one of my saved messages... -- Re: [suse-kde] Re: Position of Desktop Icons KDE 3.1.1 Date: 2003-04-25 11:30 am Michael wrote:

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.
