Following up on this in case anyone else shares the frustration, after
having experienced the same issue on another machine I find it follows
having changed the Desktop Settings > Desktop Activity type between
"Folder View" and "Desktop". Widgets relocate themselves to the top left
and won't stay where they get positioned until logging out and back in.
I can consistently reproduce and rectify this behaviour.
Cheers,
Roger

Hi, having added some widgets to a Jaunty KDE4 desktop, I'm
attempting to move them to a sensible area on the screen - and
actually be able to view them without one covering another. I have
selected "unlock widgets" and drag one to a new location, however
within a few seconds they move themselves somewhere else, either to
fit in next to another widget, or back to the top left corner with 3
others. Potentially I can create an extremely cool desktop with some
fairly useful widgets, does anyone know what I need to do to get them
to stay where I want? Can't for the life of me figure out
what/where/how to make this work!

I know this sounds silly but what happens if you shift them then lock
them?
I have not had this trouble.

they move back before i get a chance to lock them! this IS silly - I
can't believe I'm having this problem...
How about shifting them *while* they are locked? IE, make sure they
are locked, then move them.
Unlocked could mean "allow to float to 'best' position".
