Desktop icons rearrange on each login after Xubuntu 14.10 upgrade

[marius]

Ever since I upgraded to Xubuntu 14.10 I noticed a strange behavior (which didn't happen before) with my desktop icons. Even though I arrange them in the order I'm comfortable with, after each login they get messed up, they show in a different order than the one I've set (although, I noticed that if I don't rearrange them, when I login next time the order is kept as they were put by the system).

This is very annoying. I've searched for a solution but couldn't find one.

Is your report maybe a duplicate of bug 1335492?

Hmm...reading that bug description and looking at the screenshots, it could be possible, but I didn't have this problem before the upgrade, it started to manifest only after I upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10.

In any case, please forward this bug to the upstream developers. Thanks in advance.
