Actually, looking at this a bit closer, this _is_ in fact a nautilus issue.
It is caused by the 02_additional_marge_for_unity.patch in nautilus that assumes (incorrectly) that the unity launcher is always 66 pixels wide: +#define UNITY_LAUNCHER_WIDTH 66 + if (under_unity_session && (x == UNITY_LAUNCHER_WIDTH)) Since the default launcher size has changed, and is now ajustable in g-c-c, this assumption is wrong. ** Package changed: compiz (Ubuntu) => nautilus (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/936958 Title: Nautilus is now placing desktop icons far away from the launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/936958/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
