Comment 9 for bug 442079

Resolution does seem to be a contributing factor, but the problem,I believe, stems from the interface not resizing the "box" that controls the grid that the Icons are set on. To replicate the problem on any resolution add more places to nautilus the icons will start to overlap and or multiply . The opposite to this problem occurs if you. Uninstall several applications from Games or Graphics enough to shorten the list to less than a full page. The "box" remains the same size as it was before the games were uninstalled and the last line of Icon boxes stretches to the bottom of the box.
