Sorry, I do this all the time.  I almost always rearrange the icons on a disk
I receive so that they will all fit aesthetically within the drawer window.
Then I snapshot both the indivual icons and the drawer window.  I do this by
extended-selecting everything and pulling down "snapshot".

BTW this reminds me of "yet another request for 1.4"... A "snapshot entire
drawer" or even "snapshot everything" pulldown would be very nice.  So would
a setting, "snapshot everything I move".  The latter would be maddening on
floppies, though.
