Not verified with a fresh install of a system with the problem of 
eCenter and icons moving towards the south.

1. There are icons near both the top left and bottom right corners of 
my desktop, so it should fit. If it doesn't fit, i.e. there are moving
icons, then restoring the desired look is one mouse click away.
2. You may want to use an utility to delete the position of the 
desktop. I didn't work for me at all, but it may support step 7.

3. Scroll the desktop to make sure that the scrollbar(s) disappear
4. Shutdown the machine, or reset the WPS
5. If the scrollbars appear again, then move your icon(s) and go back 
to step 3

6. This step is a typical system with the problem, without scrollbars,
and without icons too close to th edge of the desktop, so most people 
may skip steps 1-5. The seventh step is the magic one:

7. Shutdown... -> Restart (i.e. a warm reset)
8. No more moving icons? Backup your WPS
9. Shutdown... -> Shutdown

Tested with a desktop pc and a notebook  (eCenter settings: top of 
screen, reduce size of the desktop area). Solved twice, albeit the 
setup of both systems is almost identical..

HTH.
