  I searched the Gnome documentation. I could fine almost nothing about icons.
What single reference did show yielded this:

The requested URL /users/gnote/unstable/panel-menu.html.en was not found on this
server.

  However, a web search found the app/extension "Desktop Folders" which restores
the positioning options of the icons.
  It lad to the discovery that there is a no-go area on the right side of the
desktop that is the same width as the list of workspaces. Icons do not move into
that area. It was not a problem in earlier versions of Gnome.

Unable to move desktop icons

[James Moe via gnome-list]

Hello,
  gnome 3.36

  I upgraded opensuse LEAP 15.1 to Tunmbleweed (20200721).
  I can no longer move the desktop icons to wherever I want them. They are stuck
where they are created.
  There was an option in one of the settings panels that gave a choice about
icon placement in the older gnome version. I cannot find it now.

  How do I get the icons moving again?
