Comment 50 for bug 411322

As I wrote in #44, this didn't helped me.
I uppdated the package 'libglib2.0-0-2.22.2-0ubuntu1' and 'libglib2.0-data-2.22.2-0ubuntu1' to karmic-proposed -2.22.3
Then I restarted the system several times. I stopped nautilus with 'nautilus -q' and then started nautilus again- several times.

I did this several times, and I even downgrade and installed karmic-proposed -2.22.3 again.
I renamed 'the folder '~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata' and let the system create a new.

I played with the files in '~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata' and copied files from the old one to an emty gvfs-metadata-folder.

I deleted all my icons in the Desktop-folder and started to insert one or two new icons from "Meny", and outplaced them. Then restarted the system or restarted nautilus- but the icon/icons always started in the upper left corner.

I remembered when you changed resolution- you sometimes have your icons changed, so I change my resolution and even uninstalled my Nvidia. But he same behavior even here.

I have a clean Karmic installation and had no problems with the icons first, this happened later. Then there was a couple of icons there always was misplaced- but the rest was ok. This was the situation until I started to play with my icons as described here, now all my icons always are misplaced in the upper left corner. They are not sorted as 'Clean up' do and the Desktop/"keep adjusted" is always selected, even if I had deselected it before restart system/nautilus.

Thoughts: My feeling (I don't have the knowledge about how this is functioning- just a user!) is that the files in gvfs-metadata-folder is the key to all this behavior. There is a UUID-xxx-file for the home-partition and a UUID-xxx.logfile, plus a home and a home-xxx.log-file that updates sometimes. Then you have your homefolder mounted with FUSE, could this have something to do with this?
In my mtab: gvfs-fuse-daemon /home/MYHOME/.gvfs fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon rw,nosuid,nodev,user=MYUSER 0 0
