           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. _______________________________________________
