Description

Going to that lower resolution workspace and back to the booting workspace fix this by repositioning icons in their normal position.

Usually my low res 4:3 workspace is on workspace 3 and even if i don't KDL in it, when i reboot on workspace 1, the icon will all be regrouped in the top-left section of the high res 16:9 workspace.

It does that at least with 480x640 and 800x600 (i always have one workspace like that to send to my CRT TV because the higher resolution i send to my converter, the bandwith limitation make the screen a bit more blurry and i also need 4:3 on that screen anyway).

It does not do that at each KDL.

Can do this on any computer i have.

Doesn't appear to have happened since, I guess.

Recreated it with the kernel_debugger command. While in the low res workspace i launched the command to enter kdl. Then i reseted the computer with the reset button. On reboot, the desktop icon where all crammed in the top right corner in my main workspace. Going to the low res workspace and back to normal 1080 sceen fix the icon positions (no need to move them manually one by one).

Seem that before going to kdl, a state of the icon position is saved and when we bootback, that state is not verified (or reinitialised) for the current screen. I don't even see why this would require a disk storage at all, would be more efficient to just be memory variables.

Tested on hrev56265
