What if you actually _modify_ a coordinate (like, set one icon's X to 800),
is that used on the next startup ?

If you completely remove the .directory file, and then start KDE, can you move 
icons around ?

If you grep KDEVersion ~/.kde/share/config/kdesktoprc, do you get 2, 9 and 0 ?

I just committed some debug output for this case.

Please update, then uncomment all the kdDebug calls in KDIconView::slotNewItems,
and apply the attached patch (to libkonq).
