This is not a duplicate of bug #737758. That bug describes how the whole desktop icon container moves horizontally due to an inconsistent handling of the unity launcher width.
This bug brings up another issue, i.e when the desktop icon container width and/or height sizes are defined smaller than the correct sizes. Greater sizes however will work correctly as icon locations are pixeloriented. The specific issue here is that the desktop icon container height is defined smaller than the correct size which then causes vertical compression moving any icons located below the container (workarea) upwards. The bug is that X window properties are not properly initialized for the Unity session but inherits old X settings from XGetWindowProperty, here top.height=300, which indicates a panel height of 300 pixels thus reducing the icon container height accordingly causing compression and overlapping of desktop icons. So, undupping this one from #737758. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 737758 Desktop icons move after login -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886667 Title: boot moves desktop icons To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/886667/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
