You're welcome Ken, hope it works.
LOL, yeah I know what you mean by sometimes it can be tolerated, I used to pretend it didn't happen or I couldn't see it though eventually it would annoy me enough to do something about it so I'd run the lock command to anchor them where I put them.
Now if I install a system with Xfce running that lock is one of the things I do to set the system up before I start using it in general.
I spent a considerable amount of time researching and trying to sort this issue for myself & several other people I installed Linux Lite for, but so far nothing seems to hold permanently except locking the icon file with the above command.
I've only ever used Mint with the KDE desktop though I imagine the command is Xfce specific & should work ok on Mint Xfce.
With removable drives shown on the desktop and their icons are locked to a certain position, if the unlock is run with them not mounted they'll lose their positions & when mounted again they'll but put default top left.
Workaround for that is if I need to unlock to rearrange something, have them mounted when unlocking & relocking with their icons in the required positions.
Then if they're unmounted & unplugged the icon will vanish as normal but when plugged in & mounted again the icon will appear in the position it was when the lock was run.
