Using a lot of icons on the kde desktop, kde is unable to keep their positions.

1. Using the align-grid option, icons move up and left, if there are empty positions in the grid upsite or left of the icon. Many, but not all icons do so. This happens any time, kde or the whole sytem is restarted.

2. Switching off the align-grid option, the icons dont keep their position on the grid vertically. This depends of the loading of the kicker. If the kicker loads before the icons are loaded, the arrangement succeeds. If the loading of the kicker rearranges the icons, kde is unable to set the same vertical space between them, how many rows of icons have different space up or down depends from the setting of the available icon text lines and of the font face and size in the kde control center. This happens any time, if kde (and the x-server) is restarted.
Using the "rebuild workspace" dont trigger this bug. After a reboot of the complete system, icons are mostly arranged correctly.
