Bug Description

This is perhaps a duplicate of the very old bug 838714.

I tried out today's Ubuntu live yakkety image in VirtualBox on yakkety. The Install Ubuntu 16.10 icon overlaps the Examples icon on the desktop. I am attaching a screenshot.

This was also duplicated today by another user as seen in his screenshot at https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird/issues/127#issuecomment-238980774

Phew, that was a hard one.

I think I got it though, with thanks to csoriano @ upstream.

Uploaded - this should be on the ISO imho, since it mostly affects the live session.

This bug was fixed in the package nautilus - 1:3.20.3-1ubuntu3

nautilus (1:3.20.3-1ubuntu3) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * d/p/0003-nautilus-canvas-Don-t-lay-down-desktop-icons-if-we-h.patch:
    Cherry-pick patch from upstream. Delay laying out the desktop's icons
    until we know the size of the desktop window. Should fix overlapping
    icons, such as those we see in live environments currently. (LP: #1611955)
