Comment 12 for bug 936958

Yes, that could be a workaround until we find out why reveived screen window margins sometimes have incorrect values. However, imo a final solution shall trust those margins and that those are the root cause of the problem.

Margins here shall be controlled by Unity but I suspect that there are other players around too such as compiz that set/change those margins, mainly thinking of the left margin for the launcher.

Then it's a question of how it should work. Just noticed, using launcher never hide mode, that desktop icons today really moves when changing the launcher width. Also checked in oneiric that acted the same way and there without any flickering, which thus has been introduced in precise. However, for launcher autohide mode the the desktop icons don't move, i.e appear static! An intentional behaviour? Another strange behaviour I noticed is that the leftmost desktop icons are moved below the launcher for the case setting the launcher width to 49!

But the question remains, how shall it work? Is there any design decision made here?
