Hi,
is there a way to set programmatically icons position on the desktop?
Thanks

Not exactly sure what you want to do. Could you be a little more specific please.

Ok, this is the way under gnome/ubuntu in order to get and set icons position. Is there a similar way under lxde/ubuntu?
Thanks

have you checked if these files and folders are present on your system? maybe it's not gnome specific.

In Lubuntu you can drag and drop the various icons that are on your desktop and then when you have them approximately where you want them, right click and lock to grid.

my guess is op wants to use a script or program to put icons on the desktop and change them around, not the mouse.
