Is the Grid Distance configurable?

It seems that from Knoppix 5.1 to 5.2, the "grid distance" has changed, now the icons are more apart from each other - I want the old setting back!
I assumed that this is configurabe and I tried to search the system but could not find how to set it, even though 'find / -xdev -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep grid | grep kde' returned a lot of matches.

A few minutes ago I found a thread in the german KDE forum about icon positions where it was advised to set the icon positions by editing .kde/share/apps/kdesktop/IconPositions. Since some of my icons are auto-generated, I believe that this is not an option for me. But that thread makes me think that the grid distance is NOT user-(or system-wide-)configurable.

So, my questions are:
Is the grid distance configurable without changing the KDE sources and recompiling KDE?

and if yes, how to do it?

(Edit, 2007-05-02: changed the thread title to reflect the simpler one of the questions)

TIA
Dirk

RE: How to configure Icon spacing / Grid Distance?

I thought the first one is a simple question... Is it really possible that nobody here around even KNOWS whether this is configurable without compiling KDE from sources or not??!?

Am I in the wrong forum, perhaps?
