Bug#584497: /usr/bin/gnome-display-properties: Icons on desktop are unreachable

[Varun Sampath]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.30.1-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/gnome-display-properties
Tags: sid

I use gnome-display-properties to extend my desktop to a second monitor to the
right and halfway above my primary screen.  When I do this, my desktop icons
also shift upwards by the same amount the 2nd screen is above the first, even
though the 2nd screen is not the primary screen.  I cannot see the icons then,
because they are "above" my monitor.
