Public bug reported:

Many modern operating systems are using these sort of widgets that you
can kind of move around on a grid.  I'm thinking Android first of all,
and what I have seen in screenshots of the new Windows OS.

Screenlets is the obvious choice to match this functionality.  It's
already there, except for a grid to snap to.  I also like the freeform
method..so maybe having the option to switch the grid on and off would
be nice, or maybe per widget - you could snap the widget to the grid or
off. :)

I imagine dropping a widget like dayNight onto the grid and maybe even
having the option to rezise it by dragging and dropping a corner.

A recommendation could be made to screenlet developers to initally set
their screenlet width to a multiple of 128x128 for maximum
compatibility.
