Bug Description

On a Multi-Monitor setup, where the extended desktop is non-rectangular in shape (ie. the displays are of a different resolution, and their top/bottom/left/right edges are not aligned), desktop icons are placed in non-accessible areas when arranged using the menu option 'View-Organise Desktop by Name' from the Desktop.

See the attached image. The top three desktop items are not accessible, and can only be seen in the Workspace Switcher.

Please also refer to the 'Non-Rectangular Extended Desktops' section of the Multi-Monitor spec:
