I've noticed that since updating hal-daemon and hal-device-manager over the last few days,
whenever I log into Gnome-2.16 the desktop icons for "Computer", "Wastebasket" and $USER's
Home" are never aligned where they should be, and I need to re-position the icons back to
where they normally are.

I can't see in any of the menu items where I can ensure that the icons positioning can be
"remembered".

Is there some way to ensure that the desktop icons remember their positions after placement?

Regards,

Stacey
