On consideration, this is not a problem at all.  I've just been playing
with changing the default desktop layout for OpenGEM (Drive C: on the
top right, Trash on bottom right), and when it opens everything is in a
neat row.  Great.  Unless someone has more than six drives.. :P

Weird note:  I have no A: drive, but it still has one appear on my desktop.
