I can confirm this issue and will try to explain it a bit more clearly. I'm also using Karmic, with nautilus at version 1:2.27.4-0ubuntu1.
There are several files in my Desktop folder, which I prefer to have placed at specific locations on my desktop. However, it is impossible to permanently disable the "Keep Aligned" option. I've tried two methods: from the right click-menu on the desktop and also by changing /apps/nautilus/desktop- metadata/directory/icon_view_keep_aligned to "false" in gconf-editor. These changes are not saved, though. Logging out and back into a Gnome session resets "Keep Aligned" back to "true". The same happens when refreshing the desktop by pressing F5. In short: Expected behaviour: "Keep Aligned" can be turned off permanently. Actual behaviour: The changes are not saved. -- nautilus issue, Keep then Aligned always ON https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/399974 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
