Comment 92 for bug 44082

I am working on getting sponsored so that I can get this patch moved into Ubuntu karmic and then upstream. If you are a Dev with advice on the process please drop me an email, thanks.

My testing shows that this fixes the resolution switch re-arranging of icons. Once the icons are arranged for a particular screen resolution they stay in the same location when the desktop returns to the given resolution. On my laptop, which has been running for a while and had corrupted GConf settings from this bug, I needed to fix the icon positions the first time that I switched to a given resolution. Subsequent changes back to that resolution kept my arrangement.
