I just use the following workaround: 1. Move the file with desired desktop icons positions to "/etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen0.rc".
2. Create a new desktop file in "/etc/xdg/autostart" that deletes "/home/USERNAME/.config/xfce4/desktop" and reloads the xfdesktop - it has the following contents (use your user name instead of USERNAME and adapt the sleep interval if needed): [Desktop Entry] Exec=bash -c 'sleep 3 && rm -rf /home/USERNAME/.config/xfce4/desktop && xfdesktop --reload' Name=Xfdesktop Reload Terminal=false Type=Application StartupNotify=false This restores my desired desktop icons positions on every login to XFCE. Note that when you want to rearrange your icons you need to update the "/etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen0.rc" file manually. -- 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
