Description Egmont Koblinger 2004-09-21 11:37:06 UTC
I usually have one sticky note near the upper-right corner of my 1280x1024
desktop.
Gnome 2.4 and 2.6 always remembered its position.
In Gnome 2.8, after a logout-reboot-login this sticky note sometimes appears
near the upper-left corner and then quickly jumps to the right place (the
upper-right corner), but often it remains at its initial upper-left position,
hiding a nautilus desktop icon, forgeting its old position, which is clearly
not what I want.
Comment 1 Vincent 2004-10-08 08:41:19 UTC
Confirmed. Using GNOME 2.8 built with GARNOME, I can reproduce the problem. As
reporter says, this was not occuring on 2.6.
I have the same resolution : 1280x1024. The problem occurs everytime for all
notes I have on my desktop i.e. they all appear stacked on top of each other in
top left desktop corner when I log in.
The "Save settings" option on logout does not change anything. GNOME/GARNOME is
is installed in home directory.
Comment 2 Vincent 2004-10-11 15:35:18 UTC
"Workarounded" by deleting all gnome-related directories in my account along
with /tmp stuff (orbit, etc).
The problem seems to arise because the sticky-notes applet does not properly
exit when session is closed (I see a dialog box that is not completely drawn and
session then exits). I remember having the same problem before with another
applet, the dialog saying the applet had to be restarted).
Note that it is very recurrent for GNOME config files to be
corrupted/incompatible between version of GNOME. This time they were those of
GNOME 2.2 (that ships with Redhat EL 3).
Comment 3 Egmont Koblinger 2004-10-11 19:04:14 UTC
You say the sticky note does not correctly exit. Is it related to #121782?
Comment 4 Vincent 2004-10-28 12:43:10 UTC
Indeed. Comments posted on your original bug #121782.
