I don' t know all the internals of this. I imagined that it wouldn' t something
trivial to solve. But I think this needs to be addressed some way. I' m going
to leave my ideas about the concerns you expressed.

It wouldn't be a pleasant experience, but at the same time is the same
behaviour that show lots of launchers on Android. So at least is something that
the user may be more or less familiarized and that at the same time will give
some control to the user about what' s happening.

if icons are auto arranged they should self arrange themselves. If not, it
should remain a hole.

I imagined this was the case D=.
