Well, compiling is not easy - took me two days interminently hunting for
outside-of-KDE dependencies, I only stumbled at this too late:
https://www.hanyoung.uk/blog/kdesrc-build-on-ubuntu/ (and in the four months
since that was written already caused that several other packages are needed).

But anyway, I suceeded and I have been using the patch for a few days now. At
first I was confused that my icons dissappeared, then I noticed scrollbars
(isn't this what caused Nick's icon to dissappear? It took me two days to
notice the scrollbars).  I then manually re-arranged the icons to be visible on
the desktop and it has been smooth since. So I think it is deffinitelly an
improvement over the old behaviour, when icons would just be placed in random.
So I would merge this as is.

However, for the future, I think it would be good to get rid of the scrollbars.
My idea would be that when going from a larger resolution to a smaller, a saved
state for that resolution would kick in. Then, if there are any icons that are
not visible, these (and only these) icons would get re-arranged.
