Position of the icons on the desktop not stored

If one day all your icons are always on the left side of the desktop and their position is not remembered between the sessions: check the permissions and make a correct setting:

$ find . '!' -user $USER              and look if "./.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home" is present into the list of files not owned by you
$ ls -al ./.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home   will show who is the owner (generally this is "root")
$ sudo chown -R your_user_name:the_group .local/share/gvfs-metadata/home   

Logout and re-login: the problem should be gone.
