Description Alberto Garcia Baladia 2005-04-15 23:27:36 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.4 
OS:                Linux

SuSE 9.2 i386 KDE 3.4.0  installed from rpm packages located in Supplementary directory of ftp.suse.com using Yast.When I relogin, the desktop icons loose their position. The ones in the lower part of the desktop move to he upper part, and they pile up  on the left upper corner, over the ones originallly in that position. This does not happen if I reboot the system.

I have similar problem with KDE 3.4.1 on Gentoo Linux (compiled from source). My desktop has reolution 1280x1024. All icons placed outside of 1024x768 area pile up  on the left right corner. 

I see that file /.kde/share/apps/kdesktop/IconPositions is corrupted. Coordinates of icons outsude 1024x768 are written as negative numbers.

I've the same problem with Debian AMD64 with my 1280x1024 screen. This problem was in 3.4.0 and is still present in 3.4.1.

Comment 3 Wouter Horré 2005-06-08 10:39:32 UTC

I have the same problem. My resolution is 1024x768. I also have negative coordinates in /.kde/share/apps/kdesktop/IconPositions.

BUG: 103985
BUG: 82341
BUG: 79392
BUG: 105814

Kicker now has the capability to tell kdesktop an area to place desktop icons in.
This area is different from the workArea (which is used by windows/the window manager).
The desktopIconsArea is not modified when a panel/extension is hidden/shown - only
when a new panel/extension is created or an existing one is moved.

Also the IconPositions file now holds the icon coordinates in absolute coordinates
(previously relative to workArea/iconArea)

 The bug has not been fixed. It is still present in KDE 3.4.2 level b, SUSE 10.0-GM i386. I don need to say any more because the problem is exactly the same I described before.
