Another better solution is to always register the left margin (launcher width + any pad) to X independent of whether the launcher is visible or not and remove the adjustment "left += UNITY_LAUNCHER_WIDTH - 15".
The pros is that there is no "visible" empty column between a visible launcher and the left most icons. The cons is that desktop icons will move when you change the launcher width. -- 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
