I never thought that this might be considered a bug, I just thought since this has been the case for Ubuntu (I haven't tried other distributions running Gnome except for Ubuntu derivatives) for as long as I can remember it was a design flaw, and not really a "bug".
2011/5/6 Ingo Gerth <ingo@xxxxxxxxxxx>Before posting to this list, please first reconsider whether what you want to report might not be a bug. This one certainly is, and I reported it a while ago: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/713224https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/713224
Head over to launchpad and mark yourself as affected!

Yeah I think they do too, but I wasn't sure if the Unity shell implemented it's own version of the desktop or something like that. I said "Since Gnome 2.x is an alternative desktop session that will probably not disappear in the near future it should be fixed for that as well" more as another reason to see to that it gets done.
2011/5/5 Alexander Lancey <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Unity and Gnome 2 (in Ubuntu) use the same version of Nautilus.

_______________________________________________I just can't help but get annoyed over that if you place something on the desktop it never looks organized. There is always some small irregularity when you try to put folders, devices or shortcuts in a relatively grid-like pattern. The "keep aligned" option doesn't even keep the items aligned. You can still easily put icons and folders on top of each other. Maybe you aren't supposed to be able to keep icons on the desktop in Unity because of the move to a more app-centric interface but as it is now you still can and therefore I expect the "keep aligned" option to keep the items aligned.
Since Gnome 2.x is an alternative desktop session that will probably not disappear in the near future it should be fixed for that as well, it's actually even more important since there you expect to use the desktop area for launchers to quick start applications and connected devices.
Anyone else reacting on this?
