compatibility is introduced. Everything else appears to work - menus, rolling up windows.. I don't get why the simple location/positioning of icons on a desktop is a fail point.
Because it is not using supported Windows APIs, as do the other things you mention. For XP and previous, you have to reverse engineer internal Windows data structures running in Explorer and use special tricks to manipulate them. I imagine the same is true Vista and later, where the internal data structures may have changed and/or the new security model may mean new tricks have to be used to reach into Explorer. I am afraid I stopped officially supporting PowerPro some time ago. I fix easy bugs now and then, but this one would require significant work. In addition, I don't have access to Windows 7. So I am afraid I don't have any plans to try to fix this.
