Icons messed up after changing panels

Hi all!

I've noticed that everytime I try to resize a Plasma panel or when I change the theme, my desktop icons rearrange themselves like "Sort by name" or something. Normally I have them grouped by their meanings, in the corners of the desktop (work, multimedia, folders, etc), but with every slight change, they get themselves back to a shapeless, default bunch to the left.

This looks like a bug, and I want to know if there is any configuration file where icon positions are saved, so I can have a back-up of it whenever I want to change something on my desktop. I've been searching like crazy in my home folder, but to no avail. Apparently, in KDE 3, there was a file ~/.kde/share/kdesktop/IconPosition, but in KDE4 I can't seem to find the kdesktop folder, or anything that might be related to icon positions. Where are they stored?

Using KDE 4.2.3, in Fedora 10, 32 bit.

Cheers!

Plasma took over in KDE 4, thus the KDesktop folder will no longer exist.
This is likely a bug in Folder View, which can be reported at bugs.kde.org.
Please try and reproduce with trunk first if you can.

Icon position data will likely be stored in $(kde4-config --localprefix)/share/config/plasma-appletsrc
