Description Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-02-27 19:04:48 UTC 
For users who have alot of icons on their desktop, the "clean up by name"
arrangement feature in the desktop right click menu is suboptimal, since it
only provides one way to arrange the icons on your desktop. The "layout
items" in the icon view right click menu should be used in the desktop
right click menu instead.

I know we're in a ui freeze right now, but the gnome2 usability team
lists this as a gnome2 must-fix.

>    *  There need to be more options to arrange icons on the desktop
>rather than just "Clean Up By Name." REASON: GNOME 1.2 had a "tidy

>arrange them all on the left side of the screen, by name.

So i would like to suggest that the priority of this raised be to
high. Perhaps we need to add some other options to the "layout items"
option for the desktop as well.

Another duplicate. These are good bugs, but it would be much better to
find the originals and adjust/enhance them instead.
