I re-targeted this to nautilus, as it is responsible for managing desktop icons. Also, so we can get some more system information attached to this report, could you please run the following command in a terminal and then change the status of this report back to new:
apport-collect 886667

Thanks in advance!

** Package changed: unity (Ubuntu) => nautilus (Ubuntu)

Title:
  boot moves desktop icons

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I arrange non-overlapping icons on my desktop for tasks that I am working on or files I want to read later.
  When I boot the next time the bottom 'row' of icons are moved upwards, on top of icons above them, making it difficult to work with them.
  This is a 'polish' bug - reducing the predictable usability of Unity.  I can 'work around it' by moving files/folders off of the desktop but it isn't the way I find 'natural' (for me) to treat a "desktop" - I expect the things on my "desk" will remain where I left them the previous time I was working there ;-)
