Symbolic links however get relayouted and fill in the spaces from top to bottom, left to right. This makes the desktop unusable for me as I use a background image that divides the desktop into regions with different semantic meanings and icons in these regions to organize todos and projects. I heavily use links to reference projects and documentation in other folders. How to reproduce: Log in as Guest, create a new folder and create a link to it by Shift + Ctrl + dragging the 'folder' icon to an new location. The new Icon should show an arrow in the top right corner indicating that it is a link. Move the icons to a location somewhere on the right side of your desktop. Now open a Terminal, move it so you can see both icons and issue a 'killall nautilus' (Dont worry about your other user session, the guest user is only allowed to kill its own instance of nautilus). The Folder icon will remain in place whereas the Link icon will move to the top left position of the Desktop underneath any present system icons. Workaround: If anyone knows an application (preferably online) that lets me visually organize my todos and planning for the next week I'd appreciate that workaround :) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/411322/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
