Public bug reported: xfce4 looses desktop icon positions from time to time. The new positions are stored. Changing them again does store them ONLY if you create an additional desktop icon. Deleting this icon WILL in all cases make xfce4 loose all icon positions again!
Two screenshots to show the situation.
