...I may be wrong but seem to recall that the "drifting icons" problem is something to do with the system closing Warp/eComCenter at Shutdown/Reboot. If Warp/eComCenter is not actually in use the system starts it to close it...
If that is the case, then perhaps this is a solution:
- Start the WarpCenter (or open its properties dialog)
- Go into its settings and ENABLE "Show only when mouse is over Center's position"
- Close the WarpCenter
- Do a proper shutdown
- Restart the machine
By enabling that option in the WarpCenter properties, even if WarpCenter is loaded (by whatever means) the Desktop folder/dialog/thingy never gets resized and we should not run into issues.
And for those bored:
The WPS Desktop is some weird combination of a system modal dialog box folder (titlebar and all). If the WarpCenter is on top (WITHOUT that option enabled in step two above), the dialog box folder thingy that it is, gets resized and the WarpCenter gets placed over its title bar (the one most people will never see). If WarpCenter is placed at the bottom, the modal dialog box folder gets resized with the titlebar off screen above the edge of the viewable area (where it is normally hidden) and a blank region on the bottom below the dialog box folder thingy is where the WarpCenter will get loaded.
Either way, the viewspace gets decreased by the WarpCenter's height, and the folder alignment gets screwed up.
And finally, I never really looked into what the heck the Desktop really is - I just know from "unlocking" it so I could control it, that it basically looks like a system modal dialog box (no borders, titlebar with no controls, and is usually (unless you tinker like me) the utmost bottom object in the hierarchy) and acts much like a folder in how it responds to mouse actions, icons and such.
Thus, it seems to exhibit characteristics and behavior of both a system modal dialog box (for those who don't know what one is, think one of the "SYS3175" pop-ups if you don't have SUPPRESSPOPUPS enabled) and the characteristics and behavior of a folder.
