I'm glad to hear at least about those settings. I've had quite a few headaches 
trying to arrange the icons on my desktop, and after playing with them a long 
while I found that the default spacing is based on the vertical and 
horizontal size of the largest text from all the icons. Maybe there's a way 
to disable this, but I haven't found it. With the time I get used to some 
specific spacing, and I don't like it to change when I add or remove icons. 
My icons become very unstable about their layout.
I wish there were some way to specify a fixed spacing (both vertical and 
horizontal) and the icons text were displayed with ellipsis -for example- 
when it were too long.
