  Multi-monitor - When using two displays with different vertical
  resolution, icons get lost on the shorter display

Bug description:
  On a Multi-Monitor setup, where the extended desktop is non-
  rectangular in shape (ie. the displays are of a different resolution,
  and their top/bottom/left/right edges are not aligned), desktop icons
  are placed in non-accessible areas when arranged using the menu option
  'View-Organise Desktop by Name' from the Desktop.

  See the attached image. The top three desktop items are not
  accessible, and can only be seen in the Workspace Switcher.

  Please also refer to the 'Non-Rectangular Extended Desktops' section of the Multi-Monitor spec:

  --------------------------------------------------

  [Test Case]
  1. Set up two monitors side by side
  2. Set left monitor to a smaller vertical resolution than the right monitor
  3. for i in $(seq 1 50) ; do touch file-${i} ; done
  4. Right click on desktop to bring up context menu, then 'Organize Desktop by Name'
  5. Should be: All icons from file-1 to file-50 (or as many fit on the screen) should be visible
       Is: Icons for files at the top and/or bottom of the arranged columns are not visible on any display
  6. xrandr --output LVDS1 --off
  7. Verify icons are arranged properly on the external monitor
  8. Set up monitors one over the other
  9. Verify icons are displayed in long columns spanning both displays with all icons shown
