Public bug reported:
This bug occurred on a previous installation of Ubuntu that was also
Cosmic gnome. That one was used for years and was originally 16.04. I
reinstalled Ubuntu and the bug still occurs. It might have to do with a
hardware button I have on my System76 laptop: a sleep button. It makes
the computer's hard-disk sound like it stopped spinning, which I think
is true. The same happens when I close the laptop lid. This also
sometimes causes the Ubuntu dock to show on the login screen, which is a
separate bug, but may be related.
Description: Ubuntu 18.10
Release: 18.10

I expected my icons to remain in the same place upon login or relogin or unlock.
What instead happened is that my icons were rearranged, apparently to the
leftmost part of the desktop, top to bottom.
