Comment 78 for bug 40872

For Maverick, I would prefer to see a much more comprehensive set of fixes and feature changes to the icon layout system. I still want to be able to have a regular grid (not simply sets of vertical columns that are centered within the column, but not horizontally aligned). I hate the variability of the icon sizes. I want to be able to disable resized icons. I want elided icon labels. I want any event that generates a new icon to trigger a refresh of the icon layout on the desktop, and any event that causes an icon to be removed should also trigger a refresh so that I am not left with a hole in the middle of my desktop icons. Lastly, I want controls for the icon display to be accessible from a Desktop context menu, not buried in System -> Preferences -> Appearance, or in hidden in some setting that I have to hack with gconf-editor.
