--- Comment #163 from kdebugtrack...@gemlog.ca ---
A good point Mike - I didn't do just one thing and make one change - I made
many hardware changes at once. This SSD was sitting in a m/c only a few years
old when its p/s died and my town is too small to have a store for parts, so I
built a pc out of old ones. The KDE Neon install suddenly 'woke up' to find
itself in a body composed of an old 2009 box and with an HDMI output for a
second monitor instead of DVI. Maybe it's the combination and the bug is
peculiar to a certain chipset + HDMI, at least for *this* bug. I have read
around and seen that 'dancing icons' was caused before a couple of times by
something entirely different that got fixed. I was just flabbergasted that I
could make it happen by toggling the power switch on the monitor. Hard bug, b/c
it is so rare. I'm not a single data point. I've supported KDE on desktops in
many homes and businesses for decades and never encountered this bug until now.
After reading through a bunch of similar bug reports, it seems that 'dancing
icons' is more of a syndrome - a symptom like pneumonia, something with many
possible causes vs a single 'disease'. 
Since it only effects me (in gemlog's little world, at least), New Plan: I will
simply rename the icons I care about with numbers and let the desktop sort them
by name and forget about it! :-) 
Thank you all for sharing your experiences.
