Hello,

Since a recent upgrade (I would say end of May, but I can't exactly pinpoint
the exact moment), the desktop icons are rearranged on each new session. I
can rearrange them again (and their positions are stored in
`~/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen0.yaml` but this is lost after I
reconnect.

Hi,
Just for you to know, a recent installation of the new
`user-session-migration` package seems to have solved the issue for me.
Regards,

Hello,

Behavior is back (icons rearranged at each session start) after an update
on 2026-06-27. No obvious candidate for a culprit package though.
Let me know if I can help.
Regards,
