I'm running KDE4 with the "Folder View Activity" setting turned on. When I change my display resolution, and then change back, I notice my desktop icons are completely rearranged. I would like to write a script that saves my old icon positions and updates them later. Where are the icon positions stored?
I found out that the positions are logged every few seconds in the "savedPositions" variable in this file:
~/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc
However, I don't think this file is read from. Modifying the positions in the above file and refreshing the desktop does not rearrange the icons.
Google has not been much help. Does anyone know where the desktop icon positions are stored?
