Please consider providing some means to place widgets on desktop in more ordered manner.
For example, when widget it dragged (moved or resized), semitransparent grid could be shown (or just invisible grid introduced) allowing snapping this widget to grid.
I don't necessarily propose to make it look like editing in autocad/3dsmax/blender, but.. you get the idea ;)

Similar approach (but just snapping windows to center of the screen) is already implemented in kwin ('Snap Helper' effect)
