[4.11.8] Desktop
I have 4.14 installed on Xubuntu 20.04 and it has still been happening
recently. I think it only happens when there are many icons to deal
with. It works fine as long as the desktop starts very rapidly, but if
it takes any time they get reset.

positions ok. I'm on Xubuntu 18.04 with all updates, and xfdesktop4

This bug is still present in xfce version 4.12.2 using Xubuntu 16.04.1.
Sometimes all icons are re-orderd during xfce startup, sometimes only some of
them. The icons stay at their positions if the user only logs out and in again
without rebooting.

As for my analysis of this bug: it can't be gone at all, because there
is a chance the data read to position the icons is read slower than the
icons are positioned by default. There is no guaranty this could not
happen looking at the code written. The bug isn't fixed at all!

into my desktop, the icons are reset.

I work around this problem (crudely) with a script and an autostart
entry:
In ~/.config/autostart, place a file fixicons.desktop containing
