(I'm the person who reported the 'See also')
I'm no coder, and don't know the architecture of Plasma 5.
Though I permit myself to make comparisons with Android, as well as Plasma 4,
netbook, which was - for me - so far the best interface yet. Including on my
24" 1920x1200 monitor!
Unfortunately, it went away, and yet it had always behaved properly in these
cases. It was close to Android by allowing icons in a predefined grid (actually
more than one, depending on the location on screen), and shifting / wrapping in
cases of smaller desktop resolution.
I don't think that a 'hardcoded' geometry makes much sense. And if, it ought to
be not absolute, but relative. With all-SVG it should be possible to re-map any
icon map to a smaller map by scaling the former one down. As as second proposal
to solve this, when the positions are relative to the screen edges.
373642 is why I mentioned Android. Before using Android, I had come to see the
advantage of starting something - or opening a folder - with a single icon.
Later I found this element on Android. While on Plasma 5 it is gone.
Half the world uses Android, IOS, etc., and can arrange icons on a desktop.
Icons that float whatever desktop size and rotation parameters are. And when
the desktop overflows, it appends a second desktop to the right.
It couldn't be wrong to implement well-known user interaction paradigms in KDE,
could it?
In no case should incrementing the Plasma number result in an interface of
lower usability. That's my 10 cents on it.
