Since the 2.12.1 release, Nautilus forgets where the icons are placed on the desktop, this is a new bug (when auto-alignment is OFF). When you logout and you login back again, the icons have been moved to other places, not where you put them yourself (move an icon somewhere, logout, login back again to see the bug).
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Works for me
Additional comments about closing:  Works perfectly fine on my system, following your steps exactly, after a logout, my icons are on the place I left them.

hello, anyone working on that? It is _very_ annoying having your icons move each time you log back in!!

I can't reproduce the problem at all. I can place some icons on my desktop, I can even run killall -9 nautilus, but the icons stay where I put them.

To reproduce:
1. Drag 2-3 icons to the desktop from your gnome menus and mix them with the Trash, "Home" and "my computer" (or whatever it's called).
2. Use "align in a grid" to align them vertically.
3. Disable the "align in a grid" option again.
4. Select all and move the vertically aligned icons very close to the left edge of the screen.
5. Log out (don't kill).
6. Log in back again.

On BOTH my machines, the default 3 icons of Gnome have been reverted to their default positions and not where I've put them close to the left edge of the screen. The default icons they just don't stay put! This is a new bug with 2.12.x, it did not happen before.

What version of nautilus are you using? 2.12.1 fixes an icon placement bug according to the changelogs.

2.12.1, this is what's on -extra. It's obviously not fixed...

Did you actually try to reproduce the steps btw? What was your result?

The problem *still persists* even with the latest Nautilus versions. Please try to reproduce the problem with the EXACT steps mentioned above.
