Desktop icons rearrange themselves after restart

This is my first question ever on Apple Support Communities. I have been a long time mac user and usually solve all my problems by reading discussion on Forums and searching on Google. But for the first time, nothing works to solve my problem...

Around 75% of the time, when I restart my Mac all the icons on my desktop get rearranged to the right. This might not seem like a major problem, but it is "VERY VERY VERY" annoying. It has gotten to the point where I stopped "Shutting Down" my computer and just put it to "Sleep" so I don't lose the position of my icons.

I tried everything I could find on the Web!! Nothing works 😟

- I have repaired permissions.

- I have removed the com.apple.desktop.plist and com.apple.finder.plist files.

- I have also looked at the settings under show view options in the finder and they look fine.

My setup:

- MacBook Pro (2.66 Intel Core i7) connected to an Apple LED Cinema Display (24)

- Mac OSX 10.6.7

I am not the only one with this problem. Some of my friends with Macs are having the same issue.

Apple, please fix this in an OSX update! 😮

➕ Any suggestion!??
