Public bug reported:
I have my Desktop Folder settings as:
Layout: Folder View
Location: Show the Desktop folder
The icons are arranged how I want them and locked in place (a 3x8
array).
When I login the icons can be wrongly arranged. This does not happen
every time, but does seem more likely to occur if I login immediately
after a reboot rather than waiting for several minutes.
The mis-placemment, when it occurs, does seem to be consistent (i.e. the
wrong arrangement is always the same wrong arrangement). [I have been
unable to work out what that arrangement is. It is not date-time stamps
on files, directory order or size)
As a work-around I have made .config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
read-only, to prevent this wrong-arrangement being written to it and becoming
persistent. This works, to the extent that if I log in an the arrangement is
wrong I can logout, log straight back in and the arragement will then be as I
desire.
This is inconvenient if I ever wish to change anything else configured in that
file, though...
