Synopsis: Alignment of icons to raster

Description:
It would be nice to add a feature "align icons to raster" like Windows
has. It should tidy up the desktop and align all icons.

Whbat exactly do you want this feature to do ?

And where exactly do you want this to go ?

Bear in mind that libgnome-desktop is a staging library for the
GnomeDitemEdit and GnomeDesktopItem classes .. nothing more
Comment 2 Hep Smoreson 2002-04-18 17:41:03 UTC 
The context menu for the desktop should contain an entry "align icons
to raster".

When clicked, the position of each icon on the desktop is changed, so
it's divisble by, let's say 50.

x' = (x + 25) mod 50
y' = (y + 25) mod 50

x' and y' are the new icon positions. this must be done for every icon.

I'm not sure if "libgnome-desktop" is the right place for this, please
let me know.

Should this be moved to nautilus?
