Re: enlightenment disappearing icons

Thanks Hall!!

Actually, on my system it didn't make any difference what I did in the 
...e_session-XXXXXX.snapshots.0 file. I did exit E and X to edit the 
file, but no change to my desktop.

I finally ended up backing up my ...e_session-XXXXXX file before  
deleting it (just in case). After starting X and E without that file - 
everything works!! :)

Thanks for your help.

Jeff
