Description rburbank 2001-08-18 14:39:47 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kdesktop
Version:           KDE 2.2.0 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: kernel version 2.4.8

since upgrading to KDE2.2 i can no longer "arrange" my desktop icons to my liking.......if i drag an icon to where i would like it - it jumps right back to its original location as soon as i let go of it......Despite right clicking on the desktop and trying all options offered to arrange my icons - they end up right where they started...

previously (in version 2.12 ???) i could drag an icon wherever i wanted and it would STAY PUT.....

this new behavior is reminiscent of Microfost and their Windblows systems.......

all i really want is the ability to drag an icon to any place on the desktop and have it STAY PUT..

thanks!!!
