Re: desktop icon's size

[Arnau Sanchez <arnau ehas org>]

Selecting "default size" in preferences works well for most icons, but 
some apps (XMMS, Firefox, ...) install a non-standard size icon and the 
only solution is to stretch them manually (which is not perfect, as it 
is a visual adjustment). As a result, the desktop is never aligned.

In fact, I have a script (just a hack) that generates icons with the 
same size and changes desktop launchers, but I wanted to know if there 
is a good way to to this.

I agree that we shouldn't obsess with having every Window$ option, but 
it's important for users (specially for novice users), to feel 
confortable with their desktop. That's the first thing that non-linux 
people asked me about my desktop: why the icons are so disorganised???

Anybody else thinks that this could be a useful option for future Gnome 
versions? which is the correct place to ask for it?
