Layout of desktop symlinks not saved across reboots

[Paul]

Binary package hint: gdm

Can't seem to find a duplicate of this one.

9.10 upgrade from 9.04. Worked before upgrade.

I'm not sure if it is gdm that positions and saves icon layouts, but it's close. :)

The positioning of icons of types application/x-desktop and various kinds of files is saved across reboot. But ones of type "Link to folder (inode/directory)" are not. They reset to the position they were originally in after the upgrade, all shoved over to the left half of the screen.

P.S. Right-clicking on the desktop and unchecking "Keep aligned" is also not saved across a reboot.
