[Bug 1696621] Re: Desktop icons slip under the top bar after logging in again
Also note... Starting in http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20170607/ the live session relies on putting icons on the desktop and this bug is immediately visible on boot. So I guess we do need to fix this. ** Summary changed: - Desktop icons slip under the top bar after logging in again + Desktop icons slip under the top bar ** Description changed: Desktop icons slip under the top bar after logging in again. If I place icons on the desktop in Gnome Shell they look fine, until I log out and log in again. On the second login they have moved half under the top bar. + + The same problem is visible in the Ubuntu live session starting with + 20170607. ** Tags added: visual-quality ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696621 Title: Desktop icons slip under the top bar To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1696621/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1696621] Re: Desktop icons slip under the top bar after logging in again
Yes and no. Nautilus draws the desktop (including icons) but it remains to be seen where the root cause of this bug is. It might be gnome-shell failing to communicate the work area correctly to nautilus... As for whether to show desktop icons at all, it should be noted this is a different decision to when we were looking at Unity8. In Unity8/Mir the desktop icons didn't exist simply because supporting desktop windows like nautilus wasn't anywhere near implemented yet. But users did complain even in the limited testing of Unity8, about not being able to use the desktop as a desktop for icons. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696621 Title: Desktop icons slip under the top bar To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1696621/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1696621] Re: Desktop icons slip under the top bar after logging in again
I think this should be considered a nautilus bug first since gnome-shell itself does not draw desktop icons. By the way, I don't believe the Ubuntu Desktop team has discussed yet whether to show desktop icons by default in 17.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696621 Title: Desktop icons slip under the top bar after logging in again To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1696621/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
