This is one of the few things that still drives me crazy. A solution would be nice.

@Xidius: Now that is a solution Pointing to a future operating system always works

You might take look at Desktopwrap

Looks like it might do the trick

Desktopwrap is great if you are at OSX 10.4, but I remain at 10.3.9.

Is there anything out there for 10.3.9 that will stop icons from roaming between shutdowns?!
