Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

On desktop, all icons of linked files or directories are always sorted. You can move the icons but they stay on that place only till reload (Ctrl-R on desktop) or new nautilus process (logout/login, reboot, killed nautilus etc.)

This is a regression from 8.04. When upgraded to Karmic, the linked files/dirs' icons were sorted.

Also I can't set emblems for linked files/dirs. It looks like metadata information (emblems, position, ...) are not stored for linked files and directories.
