[BUG] xfdesktop: Large icons disappear and are not accessible

Hey Brian,

I tried to file a bug on Bugzilla, but I got an error message ("undef
error - Can't use string ("") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use
at" - whatever). So I'll post it here:

Summary:
  Resizing desktop file icons to something large (e.g. >= 74 pixels)
makes them inaccessible

Details:
  First, the icons disappear. You can make them visible by moving one
the windows (implying a desktop redrawing request), but they still
cannot be clicked on or anything. Changing the size back to something
normal (like e.g. 32 pixels) does not make them show up immediately
again, but after requesting another redraw, they show up and are
working again.

Reproducable: 
  Every time.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Switch to a workspace where you can see the desktop icons
  2. Open the xfdesktop preferences, change desktop file icon size to
something very large (>= 74 on my 1024x768 screen)

Expected results:
  Perhaps recalculate the virtual grid. Show icons normally. Icons
are clickable etc.

Regards,
Jannis
