Ah. OK :-( Do you know if this bug has been reported?

Also, do you happen to know where Nautilus stores the positional
information for desktop icons?

The desktop in 13.10 has a few funnies:

- this one

- sometimes the window spread does not render all the windows fully.
There is a gap in the spread; hovering the mouse over the gap shows up a
border, but no window content, although clicking inside the border
brings the window to the front as expected.

- sometimes windows "vanish". ALT-Tab can sometimes find them, but
sometimes not. Sometimes clicking on the sidebar launcher icon brings
them back. I'm still collecting the evidence on that one.

- seems like Canonical is continuing its plan to remove all user
customisability. The printer wizard is next to useless now. In 10.xx it
was really good. Wish I could remember its name, I'd install it again.

Regards, K.
