Why not try using Desktop activity ... it will save your desktop layout , and also let you make many of desktop layouts for ( holiday or car or whatever)
It is in Extra

Is there a way to save the layout of your desktop(s)?
Several times now I have forgotten (stupidly) to lock my phone, and managed to re-arrange all the icons on my desktop!
NB. I do not want to have my phone lock automatically
Cheers
... you need to save your current arangement under one name ... and then move your activity to a new name, as it tracks any changes as they are made ... so if you mess things up just return to the old version and re-save it! .. hope this helps!
ETA ... see Ahmoda beat me to it! ... *grins*

Thanks for the advice 
I actually have this installed already, but never got around to playing with it. Never thought about it for my problem!

Desktop activity manager is pretty pointless. I install it and after a few hours it disappears and I cannot access it. I have to uninstall then reinstall.
All the desktops i saved are there but what is the point of this if I have to continuously uninstall it?

1.When I install it I get a default desktop which is my current desktops.
2 To change this configuration I MUST save it as say "desktop1" and do my changes.
3 If I want another configuration I save it again as "desktop2" and make my changes. If I don't save as "desktop2" first then any changes I make are made as 'desktop1" so effecitvely I lose that configuration?
