            Bug ID: 15537
           Summary: Desktop icons have multiple
                    "workspaces/arrangements/placements"
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Xfdesktop
           Version: 4.13.4
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW

  Target Milestone: Xfce 4.14

I am guessing the dont reserve space at border panel preference is only suppose
to move the desktop icons inwards so they are not below the panel.

But it seems like i can have multiple arrangements of the desktop icons which
is funny but maybe not intentional.

With two unlocked panels i have them at the sides and then i see 3 icons in a
row on the desktop.

I can then move the icons around and place then a random place.

But then if i move one of the panels away from the border instead of all the
icons are just moved outwards the hole arrangement is switched.

So now i have the 3 icon again in a row and i can place them some random
places.

Then if i move the panel back to the border (to trigger the reservation of
space) the icon arrangement switched back to how the icons was placed before.

And with the other panel i can move that away from the border to to get yet
another icon arrangement state.

So its sort of like having multiple workspaces but instead of remembering the
placement of the windows it remembers the placement of the desktop icons.

Im guessing this in not intensional.
