I guess given the amount of discussion on the list that seems fair. I
really did not anticipate such a strong reaction against the patch so I
completely agree with the decision.

I think long term we should look to try to make the icon view a little
less complex from a usability stand point. I currently find the design a
little overly complex in this respect, but we do have a good solid base
so fixing the icon view interaction problems shouldn't be too hard just
need to think about it I guess.

Good luck to everyone and I look forward to seeing all the killers fixes
and enhancements in nautilus when I get back.
