Phil,

It looks like it didn't work.  I saw a page to authorize access and clicked
on "one hour" (enough time to upload data?) but the terminal response
wasn't positive:

*james@white:~$ apport-collect 886667*
*The authorization page:*
* (
https://launchpad.net/+authorize-token?oauth_token=CTw9MM5KqzHKMWlXmhBn&allow_permission=DESKTOP_INTEGRATION
)*
*should be opening in your browser. Use your browser to authorize*
*this program to access Launchpad on your behalf. *
*
*
*Waiting to hear from Launchpad about your decision...*
*Created new window in existing browser session.*
*ERROR: connecting to Launchpad failed: Unable to find the server at
launchpad.net*
*You can reset the credentials by removing the file
"/home/james/.cache/apport/launchpad.credentials"*
*james@white:~$ apport-collect 886667*
*The authorization page:*

*james@white:~$ ^C*
*james@white:~$ *


Just in case I'm missing something I'm going to reboot now.  It is possible
that the code you asked me to authorize is intended to capture data from
booting, the next time it happens(?).

Anyway, I'm glad to help you figure out what is going on. (within my
abilities ;-)

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 ;-)
