I can confirm this issue and will try to explain it a bit more clearly.

I'm also using Karmic, with nautilus at version 1:2.27.4-0ubuntu1.

There are several files in my Desktop folder, which I prefer to have placed at specific locations on my desktop.
However, it is impossible to permanently disable the "Keep Aligned" option.

I've tried two methods: from the right click-menu on the desktop and also by changing /apps/nautilus/desktop-metadata/directory/icon_view_keep_aligned to "false" in gconf-editor.

These changes are not saved, though.

Logging out and back into a Gnome session resets "Keep Aligned" back to "true". The same happens when refreshing the desktop by pressing F5.

In short:
Expected behaviour: "Keep Aligned" can be turned off permanently.
Actual behaviour: The changes are not saved.
