If you rename a file on the desktop it changes it's position in the grid.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place or create a file on the desktop.
2. Right click on the file and choose Rename from the context menu.
3. Enter a new name and click Rename.

Actual Results:  
The renamed file icon moves to a different position on the desktop.

Expected Results:  
The icon should stay where it was before the rename.

I tried implementing this, but it seems thunar-vfs sends a 'created' event for the new name before it sends the 'deleted' event for the old name, so the way I figured I could do this isn't working.  I'm not really sure what the best way is; this probably isn't going to happen.
