very annoyed when things on the desktop aren't where I want them (which, with the Finder's habit to "alphabetically randomize" every icon in a window whenever one of them changes, is pretty much always on X).

You can disable that, you know... ;-)

Close all your Finder windows, so that the "View" menu applies to your desktop. Choose "View/Show View Options", and uncheck the "Keep arranged by" option.

No, that would be "alphabetic sorting". Alphabetically randomizing is when I *haven*t turned on "keep arranged by" and the Finder still insists on putting my file in another place every time I save it. It's positively dizzying when my files keep moving and shuffling around the desktop in random patterns.

They've reported that as having been fixed at least three times now... It's gotten better, but it still doesn't work.
