Title:
  Desktop icon alignment `floor()`s instead of `round()`

Status in Nautilus:
  Confirmed
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When dragging to arrange icons on the desktop, there is an invisible
  grid that the icons get snapped to. The x-axis has larger distance
  between grid lines and this bug is more visible in that direction.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Take an icon
  2. Drag a few pixels to left
  3. Release icon

  Expected behavior:

  - You are more or less still in the same position, so the icon should
  go back to where it was before dragging

  Observed behavior:

  - The icon jumps a long way to the left

  You can recreate this with "one pixel up" as well, where the icon
  jumps up, although not as dramatically as with the x-axis. The
  behavior is the same regardless of the icon size.

  I am reporting this as a bug, because it is highly annoying to move an
  icon to more or less where you want, only to find it jumps back. I
  think the correct behavior would be for the icon to snap to the
  closest grid lines, rather than the one on its left/up.
