KDE forgets icon placement every login??

registering · 04-19-2005, 08:05 PM

Howdy all,
I've got a rather default install of MDK 10.1 and KDE 3.2, and whenever I login I have to resort my icons. I've browsed the KDE config as well as MCC with no luck, and google didn't help -- any ideas why it forgets where my icons were the last time I was logged-in? My background remains altered. kcontrol->Components->Session Manager says "Restore previous session".
Thanks for any help!

Check under Control Panel>Desktop>Behavior>File Icons and make sure Automatically Line Up Icons is not checked.

Thanks, it's not checked though.

Have you created another account and see if they stay put or not. If they do compare some of the files to see what config is different. Or backup imporant info and remove and delete account. Erase all home data and recreate. Restore important files.

I run 10.1 on my pc and have no problems with icon placement. It's got to be some setting somewheres screwed up since 10.1 normally works right either way (manual or align-to-grid).

I do have other accounts -- I'll see if they suffer the same problem, then compare /home/$USER/.kde files for starters and see what's different, thanks!!
