Nautilus not reading .directory file for desktop

hello all,

i new to the mailinglist, all though i've been following it for a while.

heres my problem, with the latest build of nautilus, my desktop icon 
positions are not being read.  normally nautilus reads the icon possitions 
from the file .gnome-desktop.directory which is stored in your home 
directory, however that latest build is not doing so on my system.

if i move the icons then logout, and log back in (even saving session) the 
possision is not saved and the .directory file appears to be untouched.

this is a very annoying bug, instead of saving there posistion and using it, 
it simply piles them on top of each other in the top left corner everytime 
it starts up

could simply be a preferences issue, i'm not sure.

would like to hear feedback and see if anyone else is having this problem

ty for the snapshots,

douglas
