MX 21.3 Xfce - Desktop Icon position not stable after Xfce 4.18

#1 Post by FX-Tech »

Hi Guys,

This is a problem I had in MX19 and thought it was solved in MX21 but it's doing it again. I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this. What happens is, sometimes on boot the desktop icons, some of them or all of them, get shifted over to the left side of the screen. I think it's a boot timing issue, and here's why. This is an older system - Dell Optiplex 780 running a quad core Q9650 at 3 GHz and a Western Digital Black 500GB spinner drive. For various reasons I prefer not to use a solid state drive on this machine, but, if I take a snapshot of the system and install it onto the same machine with a Crucial MX500 500GB drive, the problem goes away. The only thing different that I can see is drive access time. Anyway, it just started doing this again after the recent upgrade of Xfce. Wondering if anyone else is seeing this? This machine is not on a domain.

Cheers,
Trevor
