Save Restore desktop icon position location layout

[studout]

Hi,

Is there a way of saving and restoring the positions of the icons on the desktop in ubuntu_8.10/gnome/nautilus?

Or, does anyone know where the icon position data is stored?

Thanks.

This is weird... Are you switching resolutions or something?
The icons shouldn't move...

Are you using what method to arrange them?

[studout]

No, I'm not switching resolutions.
I'm not having any trouble with the icons moving.
I just click and drag, and I have auto arrange disabled.

My goal is that...
I'm just looking for how to adjust their positions from a script for a project I'm working on.
-- I thought that was a bit technical for my first attempt of asking the question
