    Never come across this before. On my desktop screen I have some icons
    for the few apps that I use regularly. I place them where I want them
    and they stay put. A double click on an icon launches the relevant
    program.

    I set up my wife's laptop in the same way. Now she tells me that the
    icons are being moved on her desktop screen to a new layout. Why
    can't I
    have them where I want them? is her question.

    I have looked around, but so far failed to find any reason. There
    may be
    a setting somewhere that I have missed.

    Any ideas please?

Neil, you've neglected to furnish us with vital details such as which distribution you're using on each machine, which graphical environment you've setup, and any other details that may be pertinent.

Grant.



Sorry, my only excuse is getting forgetful in my old age. The distro is MX Linux 19, which uses xfce as the desktop manager. This is the same on my desktop computer, my laptop, (both of these leave the icons where they were put by me), and on my wife's laptop which is the one with the problem.
