Interesting, thanks for the info Rijnsma.
The gtk-greeter didn't work as a fix for this icon trouble for me though & it broke a couple of things that I immediately noticed.
On a logout/login it worked perfectly, icons stay where they are put.
On a shutdown or restart they did not, majority jumped left again.
It broke the OS's ability to start/restart with an external USB drive powered on, all that would happen is it would go to a black screen with a blinking cursor on the top left, no commands would work, power off the drive & it started ok.
It also broke the mouse themes, the main pointer of the theme I've set only seems to work in the web browser & Thunderbird, looks like everywhere else it's using the default main pointer, however the 'busy' and other pointers from themes seem to go ok no matter where they are.
Having said that though I do like how it uses the current Desktop image when starting up, and being able to type your password to login without having to click anything is also nice.
Never noticed any performance differences though haven't done much with the system yet.
Might have a play with the kde-greeter when I get some more free time.
