Description quanticcpu2100 2023-07-30 04:10:38 UTC
Frequently the system disorganizes the icons on the desktop and the lock icons option is not saved. This is quite annoying, as we always have to arrange the icons manually again.
The expected result is that the system maintains the position of the icons chosen by the user and the lock icons option is saved as true or false, this option is not always saved.

Can you try to pinpoint what action causes this to happen? E.g. does it happen after you:
- Log in/restart
- Plug in/unplug a screen
- Move items on the desktop
- Add something new to ~/Desktop in Dolphin
- Drag something to the Desktop from another folder in Dolphin
