*I really don´t know why so many complication about something so simple. I´ve tested the same issues in other operating systems and nothing happened in this sense. I did not take a look at the sources codes, but I suppose that when the desktop or window is divided by grid cells, only one object or icon could be in a cell. In what situation is interesting to support more than one object in a grid cell since there are sufficient cells? Every time some operation try to put an object in a occupied the cell, the system try to find the nearest empty one. What are the complications about it? * 2010/8/12 Bill Smith <snowman...@gmail.com>
