I'm also having this problem in the latest Xubuntu 14.04. After both
logout AND reboot, icon positions are always reset starting from top
left. This is worse than it was before some xfdesktop updates that were
pushed to Xubuntu a month or two ago (latest version in the repo is
4.11.8-0ubuntu0.1.
Although spatially sorted from top to bottom and left to right from the
top left corner, icons are not sorted in alphabetical folder/file order.
Their order seems kind of random. I wonder if the row/column indices are
getting confused.
I've tried saving/not saving session on logout, clearing sessions, and
deleting all .rc files in /.config/xfce4/xfdesktop, to no effect.
Thaddaeus, I built and installed the latest xfdesktop from git (easy as
pie, no wild dependencies!), have tested it a bunch, no luck. No matter
what I do, icon positions are reset on every logout and every reboot, so
it seems your latest patch pushed to master hasn't helped.
$ xfdesktop --version
This is xfdesktop version 4.12.0git-0e4a8ee, running on Xfce 4.10.
Built with GTK+ 2.24.23, linked with GTK+ 2.24.23.
Build options:
Desktop Menu: enabled
Desktop Icons: enabled
Desktop File Icons: enabled
Anything else I can do to help debug?
