This is related to my questions a few days ago regarding automatically setting your desktop.
My boot drive always appears in the upper right hand corner of the desktop
upon booting, unless I have other files in that place. Then it will place
itself as close to the upper right hand corner as possible. My other drives
they will place themselves around the boot drive in any available space.
I've got the same problem here (G4 and a G5 ; both running Panther 10.3.7) - drive(& partition) icons(not file icons) all over the desktop on reboot and startup. I find that by setting Arrange(under View, in Finder) to By Name seems to solves the problem.
Here's a thread in the macfixit forum that explains it a little more and offers other possible solutions:
