Hello Trinidad,
XFCE is the only desktop I see the issue with, LXDE (LXLE) & KDE (Mint) it doesn't happen for me.
With LL 2.8 it happens with file/folder icons when shown on the desktop, place them where I like, restart & they'll all be up in the left hand column, top to bottom or the default position as you mention.
If the command sudo chattr +i ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons* is run they stay where they should, if not they always jump back to the top left position.
I'm even seeing it on LL 3.0 now (but not always, it's random) after resizing the icons down to 14 & placing them along the bottom row as close to the panel as they'll go.
My panel runs across the bottom of a 1280x1024 screen that's run from an MSI L1350D notebook, 1024x600 (notebook screen disabled), has row size 36, number of rows 2, 100% in length & automatically increase the length is checked.
My gtk-2.0 file's contents, makes no difference if the extra is there or just the default 4 'gtk-' entries.
It didn't start doing it in LL 3.0 until I resized and moved the icons down to near the panel, before that it was fine & the only time I saw it was if I had a removable volume mounted, moved it's icon, unmounted & powered it down before restarting, which I would expect as the icon wasn't actually visible on the desktop at shutdown so no position for it would have been saved (I think that's how it works, that might be wrong).
Seems random how it happens.
Sometimes it'll be all the icons that move, sometimes only one or two, other times half will & half won't in no particular order.
I always have everything closed when rebooting, logging out and back in doesn't seem to make it happen, only on a restart or shutdown/startup.
I never save history with any browser I use, lately that's only been Firefox as I figured out Adblock Plus was what was causing it to be so sluggish for me & replaced that with Ublock Origin, now it runs nice & fast again.
It always starts with a blank page, DuckDuckGo is the search engine I mainly use, Startpage is the next option if DDG doesn't come up with what I'm after at the time.
I experiment with different distros from time to time, LL is my favourite though, Jerry & the team really have done a great job with it.
