In the days of System 9 there was a thing known as the desktop database and a number of applications/utilities that "remembered" the location of things on the desktop and would restore a saved configuration on command.
For some time now I have been trying to find a similar OS X implementation that actually works. All of the ones I have tried mess up when trying to restore a saved desktop state; some put icons on top of other icons and some place the icons off the screen.
I've tried searching the web for a description of where OS X keeps desktop icon placement information, how to read it and how to save it with no luck.
I was wondering if anyone on this list could help me in my quest.
