SUMMARY
At the latest update of my Tumbleweed, I ended up with 6.5.1. 

I use X11. The update messed up my desktop big time and it's definitely a "downgrade" in terms of usability. Starting with "decisions" taken automatically for me, which was to enable "Desktop" view instead of my Desktop Folder that i use for years. Then, we have 2 bugs (that I have discovered so far): 

1. When I use Desktop Folder, icons are stuck at the top left of the primary screen and I am not able to move them no matter what (confusing) settings I choose. Lock in place is *disabled*. Sort by is set to Manual. This is a really nasty regression especially since I use a number of widgets in my primary screen and now either the widgets aren't visible or he icons aren't there! 

2. When I shade a window (and I do that a lot!), on the screen I see a while line of the window's frame! This happens to GTK (eg Firefox/Chrome) and KDE apps. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Upgrade to 6.5.1 and use X11

OBSERVED RESULT
As above
