Mounted media icons on desktop are hidden behind other icons

Bug Description

When I plug in a removable media drive (USB-stick, SD-card, CD/DVD, etc) the icon appears on the desktop.
On some (most) occassions the new icon is placed on a spot that is already inhabited resulting in it being covered by another icon making it hard or impossible to find!

This bug was fixed in the package nautilus - 1:2.23.91-0ubuntu1

---------------
nautilus (1:2.23.91-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    - Make autorun work for blank media
    - No more pixelated SVGs displayed for desktop items with absolute
      icon SVG paths
    - Use consistent labels, mnemonics and icons for trash and delete actions
    - Icon container (i.e. icon view and compact view)
      - RTL support for vertical layout
      - Always reveal entire rows or columns of icons
      - Nicer icon container bounds
      - (Again) vastly improved keyboard navigation, especially in RTL mode
      - No more overlapping desktop icons, when files are added
        or volumes mounted while Nautilus is not running. This is implemented
        with metadata timestamps when the desktop icons are laid out.
      - Rewrite large chunks of icon canvas text size handling
      - Clear underlying items if hovered or selected item overlaps them
        (lp: #36244, #242487)
    - List View
      - Make scripts work when items in nested list view subdirectories are
        selected
    - Usual minor fix & polish galore
  * debian/control.in:
    - updated libeel requirement
