Bug Description

Similar to Bug #389519 that was fixed, but the effect is still visible when copying files from Nautilus to the desktop. The file icon can end up off-screen and become inaccessible (it can only be reached by going to the Desktop folder in Nautilus).

Expected behaviour - this void space should not exist at all. Nothing should be able to go there - copied files included. The desktop should only consist of what is visible on the screens.
