Colin Hemming, I also have two scripts. The first script is set to autostart on login. The second one is used for logout / reboot.
https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=49764#p49764 The first script waits untill all the the panels are in the window stack, then sets the folder permissions of .config/xfce/desktop to 755. If all the panels are loaded, then their struts are set and the workarea is correct. It also removes all but the latest rc file when a new rc is created in the folder. Requires inotify-tools to monitor when the rc files are created and notify-send to tell when the icon position is saved. By having only one rc conf file I don't have to reset the desktop on login. The second script opens a yad dialog and sets the folder permissions of .config/xfce/desktop to non-writable when logout / shutdown / restart is selected. Requires yad. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335492 Title: [4.11.8] Desktop icons rearrange on each login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfdesktop/+bug/1335492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
