Re: [Ayatana] Apply a real grid feature for both the Gnome 2.x desktop and Unity

Bug 40872 (Desktop icons are allowed to overlap) is a real UX problem. I help and teach an old man using his computer. He never understood (and probably never will) how to use Nautilus and what the difference between a file and a folder is. When he
