Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux Using KDE 3.5 under Fedora 3 (kde-redhat.org RPMs), desktop icons (not the Trash can, but particular files and folders on the desktop) keep getting shifted downward every time I start KDE. It appears that the icons are drawn in their original positions and then, when a top panel appears, they are shifted downward the height of that panel.
With left-panel a right-shift occurs. (kde 3.5, debian unstable)
I'm seeing very slightly different behavior under KDE 3.5.1 (again using the kde-redhat RPMs). Sometimes, at least, and usually when I'm starting KDE for the first time, the desktop icons get shifted downward when the panel appears, but then get shifted upward again. If I shut KDE down and then restart, then I get the downward shift but not the upward one. It seems likely that the issue here has something to do with how the co-ordinates of the desktop icons are being calculated. (I might note that I do not see any such behavior with SuperKaramba applets.)
Other symptoms but the same bug: The icons on my desktop move upwards when I place Kasbar at the bottom (using KDE 3.5.3). Also, isn't this a duplicate of Bug 117868?
I have the same problem on both KDE 3.5.2 and KDE 3.5.4 on Gentoo/amd64- The icons are moving upwards. I also had the problem a couple of years ago on debian sid on mac ppc. It appears that the menubar (which I have on top) appears not at the top of the screen but slightly below, about it's own size below (as if just below itself) and then it jumps up to the top, and then the icons jump up just as much too.
