Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
See attached image. This is how it always looks for me at each login,
which means I have to invoke "Clean Up By Name" and that gets pretty
annoying after a while. Not to mention the bad impression it gives.

"cartman" is a SMB share on another computer, "gamemaker.nu" is a SSH
connection, if that could mean anything, since one seems to be sorted
alright and not the other.

Titled the bug this way because I sometimes switch Desktops by
symlinking ~/Desktop to new places, and each new Desktop is always
completely unsorted. This is more of a wishlist type of fix, but if it
could be in the same fix everything would be excellent. Something of an
auto-clean right after the Desktop has loaded.

Could probably be fixed by Bug #20284, which wants to always keep the
Desktop auto-arranged, but it could also be a separate issue so I file
this separately.
