I managed to track down the issue with the desktop icons. I attach my
current work as a new patch for some more testing.
As already mentioned, I cannot test behaviour on multiple monitors.
Hopefully those issues were related to the icons and are gone now as
well, but that's up to you to find out.

Fixed!

Fixed! But after the popup is hidden we get the selection rectangle,
too, as in the issue above.

Adwaita and elementary icons work fine.
