"Keep aligned" gets toggled off after logging out

[Mike L]

Log into Ubuntu like normal. Now right click the desktop and toggle on "Keep Aligned". Now log off. Don't reboot or shutdown as neither appear to trigger the bug. Log back in. Notice 100% of the time the checkbox is now untoggled. This is annoying and makes the desktop icons line up like they were meant for Windows 9x without alignment. The user selected option should persist past logoff. Running Ubuntu 18.10, with nautilus 1:3.26.4-0ubuntu7.
