Re: How do I lock desktop icons?
i think if you right click on the desktop you'll see
desktop -> auto-arrange
if auto-arrange is disabled i'm pretty sure, but not positive, they won't move.
edit: doh! i just realized you want to prevent accidental moving. that I don't know.

imho this seems to be a reasonable feature request, and as such needs to be submitted to the upstream MATE folks

Exactly. Quite useful to prevent accidental moving on a laptop with touchscreen.caracal478 wrote: ⤴Sat Oct 27, 2018 5:40 pm edit: doh! i just realized you want to prevent accidental moving. that I don't know.
