osx lion - desktop icons rearranged on right of screen after reboot

I'm having this issue as well with 2012 macbook air with latest release of lion. Just did a restart this morning because my bluetooth mouse fails to connect about once every 3 days. Now my desktop icons are all messed up. ugh...

I'm still having this isssue too! Judging by the threads, it's been going on for years. Sigh.

I've had this problem a couple of year, while always running the latest OS X version.

After installing Mountain Lion the problem seems to have disappeared! At least for me. It's only been three days, but it looks good.

Sorry for off topic, but I have to write this somewhere. Mountain Lion is an awesome upgrade. Not so much for the new stuff (Notifications is Growl Light), but for the speed and over all feel. I even finally switched back to Safari from Chrome. This goes both for my mid 2009 Mac Book Pro and mid 2010 iMac 27" i7.

I finally wrote a script that will put my favorite folders in place after my iMac thinks its places better. I keep a messy desktop [you might say I'm a desktop horder], a result of too many things to do and not enought time. I click it and bingo, each of the folders comes out of the forest of icons and lines up obediently in a row at the top - left of the screen. Lion doesn't think that's a good place, so I know sometime, any time, they'll be back re-embedded in the pack, and I'll put them back, with a smug look on my face.

This is just ridiculous! Come on Apple...
