you know, theres probably a command that is run everytime you click on the "clean up by name" option in the menu. why not put that in a scheduler program to run every 2 seconds? hal and devkit daemon already run every 2 seconds so its not an extreme concept. for example open htop in a terminal and fill your desktop with a jumble of icons and folders and links scattered randomly and hit "clean up by name" and look at the amount of the cpu spike. for me its at least 10%. this isnt the solution for most people, but may well work.
would this easy to do? yeah, if you find a command to use. ill look into it a bit in the next few days probably... is the result worth the cpu usage? nah,i dont think so but it may be a quick fix and you wont notice the impact too much on a newer comp. -- Desktop icons are allowed to overlap https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
