Comment 4 for bug 343638

Another way to trigger this is to move a launcher to your home folder to somewhere other than where it thinks it wants to be, then click it. The launcher jumps as the spawned nautilus window appears, and if there is some pattern / logic to where they end up I can't work it out...

Suggestion - if Docky is using its own internal logic to decide what order icons should appear in, maybe it should only move them when it launches at the beginning of a session. Having them move around during a session can be disquieting.
