I think icons  that follow  you desk  to  desk and  page  to page  are
different than icons that hold their initial position.  (StayInPlace).

Well, there  is  a  relationship,  if  an   icon is both    sticky and
stayinplace, and you change desks, your going to have  icons end up on
top of each other.
