[Bug 411322] Re: desktop icon position of symbolic links are not restored

[ghost_zero]

Hi,

I just upgraded to Karmic final and I ran into the same issue.
I even tried if the issue exists for a new user - which shouldn't use any old 
files - and it exists there as well.
However, SOME links seem to store the correct position now BUT not all of them 
(actually only some of the older ones - created in Jaunty - seem to store the 
correct position - though I already deleted the ./nautilus/metafiles - but all 
new created ones definitely won't store their correct position).
Furthermore, I want to add that if I create a link to the desktop through 
Nautilus it isn't positioned where I created it but on another part of the 
desktop. I wonder if this might be related.

Originally it was for all links but the committed fix of this bug, changed it 
so that the issue should only remain with links to files/directories on another 
device. Well, I can say for sure that this is more or less what I experience - 
a few links which point to files on the same device work fine but most of them 
are another device and therefore get messed up.
