Well actually 7.0Beta doesn't use the LAYO resource to do its icon positioning
since the 7.0 finder doesn't have a 'LAYO' resource.

You can make some 'LAYO' type changes by using the Views cdev but it does
not allow you to change the horz and vert icon positioning. Which is a bummer
because the default grid won't let me lay an icon down at the very bottom of
the screen, its either below the bottom of the screen or about an inch from
the bottom.  

I sincerely hope that they add this ability in 7.0 final.
