Bug Description
I enabled xinerama support on my laptop to be able to extend the desktop and after restarting Xorg the icons I had on the desktop were split across the monitors. Because Xorg is able to identify what is the primary head, Nautilus should keep the desktop icons in the primary head because more often than not this is where the user expects them to be.
If I revert the changes and disable Xinerama, all icons are pushed to the right side of the desktop and once again I have to rearrange the whole setup.
