Thank you for getting the info. to the right people. There is a LOT that I
don't understand, Linux and the enormous collection of applications, as
well as the exponentially larger number of interactions between them are
well beyond any individual's expertise.   I appreciate your effort to steer
this to the right group.

Title:
  boot moves desktop icons

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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 ;-)
