I have 2 arch installs, pretty much identical configs. the only difference is on the machine in question, I recently re-installed arch, and up until about a month ago everything ran perfectly.

as you can guess from the title, my desktop icons are rearranging at random times. sometimes once a day, sometimes multiple times a day.

I deleted the contents of ~/.config/xfce4/desktop
didn't help.

logout settings "automatically save session..." is unchecked.

short of deleting ~/ I'm not sure what else to check. besides, if I were to delete ~/ from a different account, it would get recreated on login, correct?  I know I'd lose all account setting, if I didn't back them up first. ?

has anyone else recently experienced this behavior?
