Thanks Yanpas, your remark helped me a lot! Viewing the thread on https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11266 I found the remark that led to a solution that seems to work for me.
As suggested there I: - added the PPA (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12) - sudo apt-get update - Opened up Synaptic and searched for xfdesktop - Marked xfdesktop for update (dependencies selected automatically) and clicked APPLY - As a result, Synaptic updated xfdesktop to version 4.12.2 - Exit Synaptic - Removed Xubuntu Developers ppa ((sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12) to keep everything else as a "stable" version. Did this on multiple boxes (32 and 64 bit) and it seems to solve the problem! Thanks to all developers for solving this annoying bug! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335492 Title: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1335492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
