Bug Description
Hi all,
In my Mom's computer the localization is in Hebrew, meaning that all menus, folders, and Desktop icons are RTL.
As an End-User, every time my Mom downloads something, or drags a file/shortcut to the desktop, the icon doesn't align itself to the grid of the other icons automatically, but instead "lands" in one area (usually the top right).
Yet, the bug doesn't stop there. If that icon is left there, the upcoming icons that will be added to the desktop will land right on top of it, creating a lovely stack as shown in the pic:

Considering that many users prefer the localize system language, and not plain English, i hope this is solvable quickly..
In any case, thanks in advance..
Regards,
Uri

Thank you for trying to help make Ubuntu better with reporting this bug.
However, before we can properly process this bug we need to need some more information to determine what caused this problem.
Could you please attach the screenshots to this bug report on Launchpad so people that aren't registered on the Ubuntu IL forums can access them as well? Next to that we'd like to know what version of Ubuntu is affected.
If you're not sure about this you can find it under the Ubuntu logo in System->About Ubuntu.
Thanks in advance.
