Comment 152 for bug 1335492

The cause was identified long ago https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/1335492/comments/41 but still no one has applied a fix. I have two scripts. One of which saves the files on logout and another which I run at login that waits 10 seconds, then restores the file and resets the desktop. That totally solves it. Without my script, many of the icons reset and the others remain because xfdesktop doesn't wait for the whole config file to be read before continuing. The reset icons reassert their new position in the files. It's a major annoyance to not be fixed for so long.
