[Bug 838714] Re: ISO testing: "Examples" folder and "Install Ubuntu 11.10" icons overlap each other on the desktop

[Colin Watson]

I haven't been able to make this happen in a VM for testing.  My best
guess was that it might be possible to trigger this by making sure that
those two .desktop files have identical mtimes, but that doesn't seem to
trigger it for me.  Perhaps it's also resolution-dependent, though, as
something like this would explain why you don't see this every time.

In any case, as far as I know, casper has no direct control over this;
it just drops some files into place in /home/ubuntu/Desktop/.  nautilus
is responsible for drawing the desktop, and anything we do in casper
would at best be a workaround.  Reassigning over to nautilus and the
desktop team.

** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu)
     Assignee: Ubuntu Installer Team (ubuntu-installer) => Canonical Desktop Team (canonical-desktop-team)

** Package changed: casper (Ubuntu) => nautilus (Ubuntu)

Title:
  ISO testing: "Examples" folder and "Install Ubuntu 11.10" icons
  overlap each other on the desktop

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “nautilus” source package in Oneiric:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  ISO testing: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20110901/oneiric-
  desktop-amd64.iso

  Testcase: Install (entire disk)
  http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/DesktopWhole

  After booting to the desktop, the "Examples" folder icon and "Install
  Ubuntu 11.10" icon on the desktop are layered on-top of each other,
  which is messy and possibly confusing.  Attached is a screen shot of
  the bug.
