Xfce forgets desktop icons positions

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 5154 / 2 Years ago, sun, october 2, 2022, 1:38:51

Sometimes, after logging out and in, Xubuntu forgets the positions of the desktop icons and re-arranges them on top-left as default.

I have tried a proposed solution on a similar subject. This locks the icons that were on desktop when I ran the command but not the newer icons.

What could I do to permanently fix this issue?
I use Xubuntu 12.10 with xfce 4.12.

The problem seems to have been solved in the 13.04 edition, but the "semi-solution" I had used made the problem persist. If you have the same problem, try deactivating the lock:

sudo chattr -i ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons*
