Description H.H. 2010-02-20 12:29:40 UTC

Version:           unknown (using 4.4.00 (KDE 4.4.0) "release 222", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.2)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop

I positioned my desktop icons my way. But if I remove an icon or add a new icon, all icons loose their position, and are sorted, so all my positioning work is loosed. Reordering should only happen on a special action (for example from context-menu).

I can also confirm this bug on KDE 4.4.0 on Arch Linux. I think this bug should be the top 5 on most hated bug list for those who prefer traditional desktop (not me, but a member in my family). I can understand the feeling of having spent time positioning 10~20 icons on the desktop, after adding/removing an item, all position is back to default.
