I tried this, and it doesn't work for me. Selecting inside the folder
with button 2 creates the dashed circle within the window boundaries,
and pops up the menu. I select Arrange, and the icons are arranged. I then
close the folder. If I open it again, the icons are unarranged as before.
The window *does*, however, retain the screen position and size it had
before being closed. Also, I do shutdown properly, but this has no effect
on the icon arrangement problem..
