Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

Description of problem:
When usign folder view desktop type it doesn't save desktop icons positions.
After logout/logon all desktop icons are sorted on the left size of the desktop
regardles of their previous positions.

This bug appeared after upgrading Qt 4.4.3 to Qt 4.5.0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Current KDE 4.2/Qt 4.5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use KDE desktop of folder view type.
2. Create some desktop icons and move them around the desktop, placing them in
different corners of desktop.
3. Lock icons positions (not necessarily).

sorted on the left of the desktop.

Comment 1 Nicolas L. 2009-03-05 12:06:42 UTC

bug reported by a mandriva user, i can reproduce, 
He told this appeared from qt 4.4.3 => qt 4.5  migration but i am not that sure.

does someone with KDE 4.2 and Qt 4.4 can reproduce ?

Comment 2 bobb 2009-03-07 11:04:48 UTC

Same here, I've just upgraded from KDE 4.2 / QT 4.4.3 to KDE 4.2.1 / QT 4.5 (Opensuse 11.1). In the first setting the icon sorting problem did not occur, whereas I have this bug in the latter.

Comment 3 Fredrik Höglund 2009-03-09 23:27:53 UTC

SVN commit 937557 by fredrik:

Adapt to a change in behavior in Qt 4.5 that resulted in the saved icon
positions being cleared before the initial layout.

hi,
i don't know if it is correct to report my issue in this bug report, if not i will file a new bug report. as you can see in the image, on the left i modified the position of the plasmoids but after the shutdown at every boot the position of some of them (folderview, system monitor) change without reason. is it a known problem? thanks
