Comment 76 for bug 40872

hi

my 2 cents:

how about the following: text is limited as outlined by Miles Lane and Sandehera earlier (in 2008)
 however for icons regardless of size or shape two rules apply. Stuff created new on the desktop ie automatically created icons for removabe hardware, downloaded files etc donot overlap initially but are place well clear of other icons in a grid type allignment.

for icons moved my nouse the are droped exactly there where the mouse is when the icon is released.Or alternativly icons that are made to overlap form a stack that is displayed similar to a drawer applet in the panels or stacks in OS X
