So here is the stupid question of the day: with GNOME 2.8 (and perhaps even before that), I noticed that on ia64, the desktop icons (e.g., for "Computer") are laid out very close to the top-edge panel such that they almost overlap. On my x86 laptop, it appears that the top-edge panel causes a rearrangement of the icons such that they are further away from the panel, which is what you'd expect.
Anybody else noticed this and/or know where the problem is? Is it
just operator error?
Thanks,
