Icons on the desktop must always be steady until the user moves them.
In the past Gnome has had some problem with it on the panels. But that was patched.
Lxde in Wattos has had the problem. And it was corrected.
Most of the time I never experienced else than steady icons as long as I see desktops
(About 30 years now. Great tool.)
If not: something is not right as far as I can see and then I can't trust the building.
Other distro's can do things right.
