I *believe* this kind of "reorganisation of icons" (read: put all of them in 
the upper right corner, starting with one and aligning all the other in a row 
next to the first) happens whenever the screen resolution is _smaller_ than 
the one where the icon positions had been saved.

I observed this sometimes when I connected my laptop to a low-res projector 
and had to adjust display resolutions to "all screens the same", which is 
typically the smallest common denominator, like 640×480 or so.

So a solution _may_ be to store icon positions for a relatively small screen 
in the original (i.e. the LiveCD?).

On the other hand, some of the icons may be unnecessary for a LiveCD (like 
the Trashbin).
