Comment 73 for bug 1335492

Thaddaeus, yes, from what I can tell, the .rc file reflects the current icon positions. In fact, when I log in, to restore positions, I delete the existing file, restore from a backup, run xfdesktop --reload, and icon positions are restored.

Yes, I'm running xfdesktop from git master. I just updated again, recompiled, installed, and logged in and out. Icon positions are still reset on login.
