I downloaded 2.0.46 and the iconboxes patch and recompiled.
It works, but it doesn't do whta I needed: when I move the icons, I can
still
drop them anywhere on the screen, at random positions...
What I expected was that after defining something like

Style "*" IconBox +900+8+927+800, IconGrid 90 90

I would have had the icons dropped at least at 90 pixel from each
other... :(
If I am doing something wrong, can you point it out? (and then tell me?)

thanks
