Hi : what version of Deepin are you running ? and can you upload screen shot of the problem ?

Did you changed the Desktop icons settings using gnome-tweak-tool? Did you activate them? Gnome desktop icons should be deactivated, they aren't the same as Deepin Desktop icons.

If this is  really case, then you can solve this with one line in terminal:

[Accidentally posted twice]

I've followed your instructions and the problem seems to be no longer occurring, thank you so much!

It just happened again while I was trying to re-install steam, and sorry about the accidental double reply.

I'm running the latest version 15.1.1. I'll try to post a screenshot, thanks!

Hi, I also had trouble with one of my systems that did not take the 15.1.1 update well. The standard Deepin icons on my desktop stayed permanently frozen and unclickable as part of the desktop background and dock lag. I was able to reinstall key components of the DDE and have not experienced the problem again.
Your problem seems different, you mention after a hour or two of uptime and disappear on reboot. and trouble with Steam. When ever posting a issue on Deepin forum try to provide relevant information like Deepin version, proprietary drivers etc, and screenshots of your desktop including your dock.

Hey, just letting you know I no longer have those issues with the deepin desktop environment, I decided to install arch Linux and add the deepin desktop and the software that deepin is packaged with, everything works great, and I assume since DDE is working on arch the problem on Deepin OS is probably fixed as well, thanks for all your help! <3
