I'll explain the real situation, so you can understand what happened:
- /mnt/cont is the mountpoint of an ext3 partition
- / is another partition, /home/emi is in this partition.
- /home/emi/Desktop is a symlink to /mnt/cont/linux_home/Desktop
I had the bug with this situation. Then I moved /mnt/cont/linux_home/Desktop to /tmp , I delete the symlink /home/emi/Desktop, I made a new /mnt/cont/linux_home/Desktop, I moved the files present in /tmp/Desktop to /mnt/cont/linux_home/Desktop, and I created again the symlink /home/emi/Desktop pointing to /mnt/cont/linux_home/Desktop.
I have done all of this operations using the text console. Then i log on gnome, and desktop icons had the correct behaviour on move.

I wish that you'll understand what I've done.

Bye!
