Desktop items get unsorted after cold boot

After a coldboot all icons are sorted in alphabetical order on the right side of the screen.

It does not matter what the previous setting of "Arrange by" was, I have tried everything including "Snap to grid" and "Unsorted".

Icon size, grid spacing, text size etc is not affected, only "Arrange by" (as in Desktop "View Options").

It´s very annoying and hampering if you have lots of icons and the desktop is a main part in your workflow (like mine).

I´m getting very frustrated and I am seriously considering downgrading to 10.5.8 again, but that will take most of the weekend and I will have to go back to running 2 separate systems for using Logic, Final Cut and Aperture, so it´s not a good option and something that I would rather not do.

The best would be of course be, if some Apple engineers could spare some time and look into this. I have sent a bug report as well.


In the meantime: Does anybody know if there is a way to automate the process of manually putting the icons back in their proper place or some other workaround?
