Now that unity has the bar on the left side of the screen, I find that it ends up obscuring desktop icons since desktop icons auto align top-bottom/left-right. To correct this I need to constantly keep dragging icons to the right so that they're not underneath the bar, but this isn't an elegant solution as new icons will be placed as far top-left as possible.
Is there a way I can set the desktop icons in Ubuntu to auto-align on the right side of the screen? For example, top-bottom/right-left?
