I didn't notice it because I NEVER use 'clean up by name'.  I work with
a sparse desktop but have gotten used to the few icons I use in the
'right' place.  'Clean up by name' moves everything around and I have to
put it back manually -- so I avoid 'Clean up by name' like the plague.
As a consequence I never thought of using it to check icon placement.

Just a personal quirk.  My wife will confirm that I am usually a bit of
a slob with rare but random needs for neatness.

I would think the feature request is that somehow on the installation of
a new monitor or a resolution change, Nautilus checks that no icons are
hanging off the end, out of sight.
