Comment 27 for bug 399974

+1 on the 'Keep Aligned' problem on Karmic 64bit, just to keep the list long ;)

One thing I noticed: it DOESN'T rearrange the icons if I press F5, it just rechecks that option. Neither does relogging change the icons arrangement on the Desktop.

- login, uncheck 'Keep Aligned'
- arrange icons the way I want to
- press F5, option 'Keep Aligned' gets checked BUT icons stay in place
- uncheck option again, I can arrange the icons again the way I want, no restrictions
- logout/login, option is checked, but icons still remain the way I left them

ONLY when I actually CHECK the 'Keep Aligned' option, only then are the icons arranged.

To further complicate things:

- after checking the option, icons get rearranged (they are aligned)
- unchecking AND pressing F5 brings the icons back to their original position (not arranged)

Maybe it's just me, or is this not THAT annoying as people say ? Just uncheck the box arrange stuff how you want it, the forget about being checked or not. Next time you have to arrange something, just uncheck the option. I repeat, it's not re-arranging anything by pressing F5 or relogging.
