           Summary: Automatically line up icons option should not re-
                    organize icons
           Product: konqueror
           Version: 3.2
          Platform: RedHat RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: cheeth nwlink com


Version:           3.2 (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
OS:          Linux

When Konqueror is set to automatically line up icons, saving a file with a long filename to the desktop can cause the desktop to re-calculate its "grid" and move all of the desktop icons around.  

Since desktop icons are probably more likely to be organized vertically than horizontally, this almost always messes up any organizational pattern the user may have chosen for their icons.

I suggest that the "grid" upon which icons are organized be static--for example, room for an icon with two lines of text.  All files with longer filenames are truncated in some fashion to fit this grid.  That way, the icons never need to be auto-reorganized because the grid never changes.
