Bug description

My desktop icons are too far to the left. They are so far, in fact, that they are barely on the screen at all. I will attach a screenshot of what I am talking about.

(It's worth noting that I replaced my ~/Desktop folder, and filled it with nonsense, as I value my privacy.)

Steps to reproduce

This always happens on my Dell Latitude e6410. Strangely, it doesn't affect any other computer I've tried. I've never run Wayland. I only have one monitor, which is built-in to the laptop.

Expected behavior

The icons should be on the screen.

Additional information

If I restart the window manager (ctrl+alt+esc), the icons go back to their proper spot. Also, this only happens when I boot from my SSD. I have an emergency rescue flash drive (with a full install, not a live install), that doesn't have this problem. Could this be a result of some bad configuration files?

Although I am now running Mint 22.0, this problem also affected me when I was running Mint 21.x. (I don't know why I didn't file a bug report back then.)

Start by reproducing the issue on the Dell Latitude E6410 with Mint 22, comparing the SSD installation with the rescue flash-drive installation. Check whether restarting the window manager restores the icon positions; the issue is done when desktop icons remain fully on screen without that restart.
