I can reproduce this problem in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Beta1 (using KDE 4.4.1) and RC (using KDE 4.4.2). It does not just affect positioning of widgets. Resizing also does not work. Sometimes it keeps size/position, sometimes it returns to previous size/position. It also affects other widgets that were not moved or resized. It seems that it only happens when a new position of a widget covers the previous position. For example, with large widgets like Folder View, if you move it for a half of its length, it will return to it original position. Everything happens as soon as mouse gets out of a widget and side control "slides back in".

This problem is maybe associated with a feature that returns widgets that were moved outside desktop area back to the desktop (to be completely visible).

The interesting thing is that, when you manually restart plasma-desktop, everything works correctly. Also I could not reproduce this problem on other distros.
