This bug has not been fixed for years now (I saw first reports of this from 2010 in the net). And __no__, it is definitely not fixed.
I just (Sep 4th, 2014) installed a brand new Xubuntu $cat /etc/os-release NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="14.04.1 LTS, Trusty Tahr" ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS" VERSION_ID="14.04" HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/" SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/" BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/" $xfdesktop -V This is xfdesktop version 4.11.6, running on Xfce 4.10. Built with GTK+ 2.24.23, linked with GTK+ 2.24.23. and the issue is still there. After a very short time, I have 6 resolution files with resolutions I never used. ~/.config/xfce4/desktop$ ls -1 icons* icons.screen0-1894x1100.rc icons.screen0-1904x1097.rc icons.screen0-1904x1098.rc icons.screen0-1904x1100.rc icons.screen0-1904x1147.rc icons.screen0-1904x1184.rc but the one with my screen resolution, i.e.. icons.screen0-1920x1080.rc is still missing. xfdesktop4 developers: Please, if you are not able to fix this in a normal time frame, how about an option that instructs xfdesktop to just use a plain single name (instead of one with resolutions) Thanks tomsam -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307251 Title: xfdesktop doesn't save the arrangement of desktop icons after a resolution change To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1307251/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
