This screenshot made me think.... Notice how the first line in Konqueror has 4 
icons, while the second line has just two. Maybe we should strive for 
symmetry here? Instead of having 4 icons in the first line and 2 in the 
second, what if we had 3 icons in both lines? If the user resizes the window, 
or adds stuff (folders, files etc.), the app would try to maintain symmetry. 
Of course, such symmetry wouldn't be always possible, but still.

I think it would look nicer with such a system :). And in case of the 
abovementioned screenshot, the icons would have plenty of space around them, 
without looking like space is being wasted.

Opinions?
