You need to state which version as changes have been made in this area and more changes to come.

Look at the text file /home/dsl/.xtdesktop/xtdeskrc
If you set Cols to 0 then the X and Y positions will be honored.
Using the right click on any icon and select properties you can set the X and Y positions. You can adjust Cols and the other table Layout section values to achieve other auto positioning schemes.

I have double or single click working and will be made available soon. It will be controlled via the ClickInterval.
This together with Cols 0 will allow dragging icons Stay tuned.

cool info!
beside,I suppose that a noicons/icons loop via menu would reset the situation, in case you mess up, would it?
