Bug Description

It it not possible to place files, folders or shortcuts on the desktop close to the launcher.
This makes sense with default Unity settings, but not with "Hide Launcher - never" (CompizConfig Settings Manager) setting.

see screenshot attached.

From IRC:
15:51:02 didrocks | seb128: I think we should retitle bug #854503 with "Take real launcher size to get icons area next to the launcher", wdyt?
15:51:49 didrocks | seb128: not for oneiric anyway, as -2d and -3 doesn't have the same values, and with gsettings maybe segfaulting back next release if the value isn't there, it makes a dep between nautilus and
                        | unity-common :)

summary: - Using Unity setting "Hide Launcher - never", files on desktop can not be
- placed close to the launcher
+ desktop icon area should takes into account Launcher size
