well how should layouting look:
personally i like the way how windows does snap to whatever. my personal
opinion:
a) an option where the user can select if he wants the icons snaped to
grid when moving them around on the desktop. or having a manual
layout.
b) having the right mouse popup menu show a 'snap to grid' entry.
c) something i personally dont like is the way how kde does snap to
grid. i am more the pixel exact kind of person and don't like it much
if the icon group top right gets differently layouted as the few
icons that i may have at the bottom left.
