I noticed that there is a difference between 3.2.3 and 3.3-beta2 when it comes 
to aligning icons to grid. Here is screenshot of my 3.2.3 desktop:

Here is my 3.3-beta2-desktop:

In both cases I aligned the icons to a grid. As you can see, there is a 
subtle, but in my case quite significant difference between the two. In 3.2.3 
the icons are nicely places along the grey bar at the top of the screen. In 
3.3, they are placed slightly lower, which means that they are not 100% 
withing the grey bar. In practice that means that I can't use the "align to 
grid" in 3.3 with this particular wallpaper, I have to manually place the 
icons.

A tiny detail, but still. Of course you can't really say which is the "right" 
way to do this: the 3.2.3-way, or 3.3-way. It was just my luck that the 
aligning of the grid was perfect for my wallpaper in 3.2.3, and it's not in 
3.3. Any reason for the change?
