    Desktop Icons moving by themself

    I installed kubuntu 10.10 and all was going well. I went to "Desktop Settings - Plazma Workspace >> Activity" and changed Desktop to Folder View. Now every time I boot up all the icons move into three vertical columns on the left side of the screen, BY THEMSELF!

    It is getting very annoying having to rearrange the desktop every time I boot up.

    I, too, can attest to my plasma widgets moving around a bit in 10.04 even when the widgets are locked. It's never really annoyed me too much because it's not as bad as what the OP has stated. My luna moves to different corners every so often and it makes me feel like I'm really somewhere in space!

        You left out a few details. I made the following assumptions:

        Right clicked the desktop,
        clicked on Folder View Settings
        clicked on Activity and changed Type: from Desktop to Folder View
        clicked on Location,
        selected Specify a Folder: and enter path to my Desktop folder

        First boot up after making the changes everything was oky. Will continue to monitor
