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?
