Bugzilla Bug 154766

The icons for "computer", "home", "trash" and some connected servers are moved
every time I start a new gnome session. Other icons (files, folders, links) are
not affected.
Reverting to gnome-base/nautilus-2.16.1 fixes this.

Steps to reproduce:
1) start a gnome session, arrange "home", "computer", "trash" (and connected
server) icons on the desktop
2) exit gnome
3) restart gnome session
result: icons are moved

I confirmed this with a new account, so old config files can't be the cause.
The icons are moved even if I didn't move them manually.

known bug upstream : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330298

I was planning on reverting the problematic patch and posting it here. Or we
can mask 2.16.2 altogether, as there doesn't seem to be that many changes
(except for that icon-mangling-desktop-shuffling bug)

The patch posted here ( http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373895 )
seems to work fine here (x86). Try it out

I did a patch to fix this issue and it's on the tree. That should solve all
this problems.

Thanks for helping.
