Ok, I've tracked this down to Unity and found the root cause. Both the panel and the launcher window struts are wrongly initialized with the BaseWindow default geomentry (100,100,320,200) causing sporadic compression of desktop icons in the lower part of the screen. This is due to that the panel/launcher geometries for their BaseWindows have not been set when corresponding struts are enabled. Those geometries are availble in the code sequences so this patch just rearrange the order to see to that the geometry is set before struts is enabled.

Reassigning this bug to Compiz. Some tracing points to Compiz and more specifically a Compiz struts issue. Details: windows.cpp CompWindow::updateStruts () struts [0]=0, [1]=0, [2]=300, [3]=0, struts [4]=0, [5]=0, [6]=0, [7]=0 struts [8]=100, [9]=419, [10]=0, [11]=0 The setting of struts [2] = 300 (top.height) is the one that causes this issue, i.e indicates a "panel" of height 300 pixels that in combination with the real unity panel of 24 pixels later leaves 276 pixels of unused height at the bottom of the screen causing icons in that area to be moved upwards. Futhermore, struts [8]=100 (top.x) and struts [9]=419 (top.width) are inaccurate values e.g for a screen 1366x768 running unity. However, there's also a race conditions issue with nautilus causing this to appear sporadic.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 886667] Re: boot moves desktop icons
The issue causing desktop icons at the bottom of the screen to be moved upwards and in some cases (sporadically) overlap other icons is caused by multiple setups of the desktop icon container in combination with a first too high top margin value setting the height of the desktop icon container. Futhermore, if a desktop icon container has been drawn it will not be redrawn with new margin values, see module libnautilus- private/nautilus-icon-container.c/redo_layout_internal. In my case this issue occurs when a top margin value of 300 pixels appears (from Xlib XGetWindowProperty) and then is used to finally set the desktop icon container height. As the Unity panel is 24 pixels the the empty part in the lower part of the screen will be 300-24 = 276 pixels. So any icons in that lower empty area will then be moved upwards into the desktop icon container. As the function redo_layout_internal today does not support redrawal of the desktop icon container one way is to filter "bad" margin values. As it only seems to be caused by a too high top margin value this can be done in the module src/nautilus-desktop-icon- view.c/icon_container_set_workarea. The highest value to be passed is set to 49 in the following patch but can be reduced further down to max of panel height (top margin) for any sessions supported by ubuntu. Furthermore, it might be included into the patch 02_additional_marge_for_unity.patch. ** Patch added: "top margin patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/886667/+attachment/2768289/+files/nautilus_top_margin.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886667 Title: boot moves desktop icons Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I arrange non-overlapping icons on my desktop for tasks that I am working on or files I want to read later.

I experience this issue too in Precise. After an upgrade of Oneiric on 2011-12-21 (previous upgrade: 2011-12-05) I also see this behaviour in Oneiric. However, not sure that this upgrade introduced the issue in Oneiric as it's sporadic and I mainly run Precise. It seems that a wrong screen resolution is handed over to Nautilus and as James indicates this might very well be a race condition issue as it's sporadic. A workaround (tested in Oneiric so far) is to log out and in again, so desktop icon positions all are intact. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886667 Title: boot moves desktop icons Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I arrange non-overlapping icons on my desktop for tasks that I am working on or files I want to read later.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 886667] Re: boot moves desktop icons
Update: it appears that the bug may be due to some kind of 'race condition' between processes during boot. After a later boot the icons 'popped back' to their 'proper' positions (twice). They, apparently, hadn't lost any position information in the interim, but have since returned to being drawn shifted upwards.
