It appears to be the snap size that is the problem for keeping the icons aligned. I am not at all familiar with the code, but I did notice that the constants for snap sizes are 78 pixels horizontally, and 20 pixels vertically.

I changed the vertical snap size from 20 to 80, and it gave me a nice grid to work with for placing icons.

One more thing to note is that icons can be placed in the same grid location and overlap. Is this considered a separate bug?

I am attaching a patch against nautilus' svn repository. Feel free to use it as is, or use a different constant.
