If this is when upgrading to KDE-2.2. for the first time, it's a known bug and it's fixed
(the "new release" code was copying over an almost empty .directory file).
Otherwise, it's indeed a remaining bug. How is it triggered ? (what event makes it happen?).
Are the coordinates in the .directory file sensible ?

Ouch. I can't see how this happens (icons are moved upon listing or renaming,
but when the user moves them the program doesn't interfer.....).
Hmm, unless some sort of "auto-arrange" gets triggered, but... well there's no
such feature yet (and the QIconView one is disabled).

I need either a way to reproduce this, or debug output....
