2 icons with similar name on the desktop, e.g.,

Warcraft III
Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne

With each login they move 1 space downwards.

Possible causes:
A) Only checking the first 8 characters when restoring icon positions

B) string comparison is doing 'starts with' instead of absolute strings so that searching 'Warcraft III' returns both icons. They're then placed on top of each other and the OS nudges one downwards.

To reproduce;
Have to icons with the name starting the same then restart. With each successive restart the icons move down 1 grid.

You can get this on Vista/Windows 7, a workaround should be in the next release. It's actually a bug in Windows, starting with Vista an API function used by UltraMon does a partial string match instead of only matching the complete string.
